Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]

, 2006
During Tertiary to Quaternary times, convergence between Eurasia and Africa resulted in a variety of collisional orogens and different styles of subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region.

Stability of hydrous basaltic melts at low water fugacity: evidence for widespread melting at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary

Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology
The upper mantle low velocity zone is often attributed to partial melting at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. This implies that basaltic melts may be stable along plausible geotherms due to the freezing point depression in the presence of water ...

Relationships Between Upper-Plate Structure, Mantle Wedge Melting, and Fore-Arc Sliver Transport in the Nicaraguan Subduction Zone

The Seismic Record
This study images the base of the upper-plate lithosphere in the Nicaraguan subduction zone using common conversion point stacking of Sp phases and explores the relationships between deep upper-plate structure, subduction zone melting processes, and the ...

Multi‐Stage Evolution of the South Australian Craton: Petrological Constraints on the Architecture, Lithology, and Geochemistry of the Lithospheric Mantle

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
To improve the understanding of the formation and evolution of the sub‐continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) underlying the South Australian Craton we have conducted a detailed petrological study on >3,000 mantle xenocrysts from 13 kimberlites emplaced ...

Deep lithospheric dynamics beneath the Sierra Nevada during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic as inferred from xenolith petrology [PDF]

, 2001
Peridotite xenoliths erupted in late Miocene basalts (~8 Ma) in the central Sierra Nevada sample a lithosphere that is vertically stratified in terms of age and thermal history.

A Mid‐Lithospheric Discontinuity Detected Beneath 155 Ma Western Pacific Seafloor Using Sp Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters
This study probes the lithosphere‐asthenosphere system beneath 155 Ma Pacific seafloor using teleseismic S‐to‐p receiver functions at the Pacific Lithosphere Anisotropy and Thickness Experiment project ocean‐bottom‐seismometers. Within the lithosphere, a

Azimuthal Variation in the Surface Wave Velocity of the Philippine Sea Plate

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
A study of the azimuthal variation in the surface wave fundamental-mode phase velocity is performed for the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP). This azimuthal variation has been anisotropically inverted for the PSP to determine the isotropic and anisotropic ...

COMPOSITIONAL AND THERMAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LITHOSPHERIC AND ASTHENOSPHERIC MANTLE AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON CONTINENTAL DELAMINATION

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The lower part of lithosphere in collisional orogens may delaminate due to density inversion between the asthenosphere and the cold thickened lithospheric mantle. Generally, standard delamination models have neglected density changes within the crust and

The relationship between upper mantle anisotropic structures beneath California, transpression, and absolute plate motions [PDF]

, 2011
We calculated SKS splitting parameters for the California Integrated Seismic Network. In southern California, we also estimated splitting in the upper 100 km using azimuthal anisotropy determined from surface waves.

Detectability of low-viscosity zone along lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary beneath the Nankai Trough, Japan, based on high-fidelity viscoelastic simulation

Earth, Planets and Space
After the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake, a seafloor observation system observed rapid landward deformation. These seafloor observation data are potentially explicable via modeling of a low-viscosity zone under the subducting plate, called the lithosphere ...
