Mantle Dynamics of the Long‐Lived Middle Yangtze Basaltic Field: Insight From a Combined Geochemical and Numerical Modeling Approach

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Melting for the generation of intracontinental diffuse basaltic fields is generally ascribed to the effects from lithospheric dynamic processes, but how the asthenospheric dynamics influence the overlying lithosphere remains poorly known.

Insights on Upper Mantle Melting, Rheology, and Anelastic Behavior From Seismic Shear Wave Tomography

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018
In seismic tomography we map the wave speed structure inside the Earth, but we ultimately seek to interpret those images in terms of physical parameters.

Delamination Magmatism in Eastern Anatolia: A Geochemical Perspective

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The Sr‐Nd‐Hf‐Pb isotope geochemistry of the Late Miocene Tunceli Volcanics suggests that they are the products of mixed asthenospheric and lithospheric mantle melts.

Heterogeneous rheology controlled postseismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Using two‐dimensional finite element modeling, we reproduced the observed postseismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake. Our model, which accounts for the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary and weak zones beneath volcanoes, was able to ...

Optimal resolution of Earth’s shallow conductivity structure for predicting tidal-induced magnetic fields at geomagnetic satellite altitudes

Earth, Planets and Space
Geomagnetic satellites provide a unique opportunity to measure tidal-induced magnetic fields with exceptional accuracy and extensive spatial coverage. Recent studies have demonstrated that these satellite-detected signals are sensitive to the lithosphere-

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Volcanism in the Black Rock Desert Volcanic Field, Utah, and Its Migration Relative to the Colorado Plateau

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
In the southwest USA, the Colorado Plateau is encircled by Late Cenozoic volcanic fields, most of which have eruptive histories that are marginally constrained.
