Imaging the Low Dip Onset of the Gibraltar Arc Subduction in the Gulf of Cádiz Using OBS Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters
Using P and S‐wave receiver function analysis we investigate the lithospheric structure in the Gulf of Cádiz through a combination of ocean‐bottom seismometers and onshore seismic stations located in southwest Iberia and northwest Africa.

Postseismic deformation due to subcrustal viscoelastic relaxation following dip-slip earthquakes [PDF]

The deformation of the Earth following a dip-slip earthquake is calculated using a three layer rheological model and finite element techniques. The three layers are an elastic upper lithosphere, a standard linear solid lower lithosphere, and a Maxwell ...

Xenolith Constraints on the Mantle Potential Temperature and Thickness of Cratonic Roots Through Time

Geophysical Research Letters
The temperature of the convecting mantle and thickness of the lithosphere control many of Earth's processes. However, there is disagreement regarding the evolution of these quantities through time.

Postseismic viscoelastic deformation and stress. Part 2: Stress theory and computation; dependence of displacement, strain, and stress on fault parameters [PDF]

A viscoelastic model for deformation and stress associated with earthquakes is reported. The model consists of a rectangular dislocation (strike slip fault) in a viscoelastic layer (lithosphere) lying over a viscoelastic half space (asthenosphere).
