The lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary observed with USArray receiver functions [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2012
The dense deployment of seismic stations so far in the western half of the United States within the USArray project provides the opportunity to study in greater detail the structure of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system.

Global distribution of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary: a new look [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2012
New global maps of the depth to the boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere are presented. The maps are based on updated global databases for heat flow and crustal structure.

New Insights Into Lithospheric Structure and Melting Beneath the Colorado Plateau

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The Colorado Plateau and its surroundings serve as an archetypal case to investigate the interaction of mantle melting processes and lithospheric structure.

The lithospheric S-wave velocity structure beneath the NE Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding craton basins

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
It is essential to investigate the spatial distribution of the lithosphere and asthenosphere in detail, to further obtain the understanding of the effect of plate collision and the process of orogenic movement.

Post-collisional Tertiary–Quaternary mafic alkalic magmatism in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a review [PDF]

, 2004
Mafic alkalic volcanism was widespread in the Carpathian–Pannonian region (CPR) between 11 and 0.2 Ma. It followed the Miocene continental collision of the Alcapa and Tisia blocks with the European plate, as subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism was

Evolution of the Oceanic Lithosphere in the Equatorial Atlantic From Rayleigh Wave Tomography, Evidence for Small‐Scale Convection From the PI‐LAB Experiment

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
The oceanic lithosphere is a primary component of the plate tectonic system, yet its evolution and its asthenospheric interaction have rarely been quantified by in situ imaging at slow spreading systems.

The westward drift of the lithosphere. A tidal ratchet? [PDF]

, 2018
Is the westerly rotation of the lithosphere an ephemeral accidental recent phenomenon or is it a stable process of Earth’s geodynamics? The reason why the tidal drag has been questioned as the mechanism determining the lithospheric shift relative to ...

Reduced Viscosity of Mg2GeO4 with Minor MgGeO3 between 1000 and 1150 °C Suggests Solid-State Lubrication at the Lithosphere–Asthenosphere Boundary

Minerals, 2021
Tectonic plates are thought to move above the asthenosphere due to the presence of accumulated melts or volatiles that result in a low-viscosity layer, known as lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB).

Shear-Wave Splitting and Mantle Flow Beneath the Colorado Plateau and its Boundary with the Great Basin [PDF]

, 2008
Shear-wave splitting measurements from SKS and SKKS phases show fast polarization azimuths that are subparallel to North American absolute plate motion within the central Rio Grande Rift (RGR) and Colorado Plateau (CP) through to the western rim of the ...
