How rigid is Europe's lithosphere? [PDF]
The integrated strength distribution and variations of the effective elastic plate thickness (Te) have been estimated for the European lithosphere based on thermal and rheological data for the crust and upper mantle. The new results show a significant spatial variability demonstrating that both ‘jelly sandwich’ and ‘crème brûlée’ models might be valid ...

An inventory of subglacial overdeepenings in southern Germany and Austria
We present an inventory and morphometric characterization of >100 individual overdeepened basins in southern Germany and Austria compiled from heterogeneous sources. Arrangement and dimensions of overdeepenings are compared to those of their western Alpine counterparts, to catchment topographies and bedrock lithologies, and to modelled ice‐flow ...

Broadband seismic experiments over the last two decades have produced dense data coverage across Tibet. Yet, the mechanism of the India‐Asia lithospheric convergence beneath it remains a puzzle, with even its basic features debated and with very ...

Earlier spring arrival of migratory birds to breeding sites and advanced breeding often bring enhanced reproductive success but demand good body‐condition. When populations exhibit extensive winter distributions, the differing energetic costs associated with the quality and migration distance to each wintering area can have implications for individual ...

Oxygen isotope geochemistry of the second HSDP core [PDF]
Oxygen isotope ratios were measured in olivine phenocrysts (~1 mm diameter), olivine microphenocrysts (generally ~100–200 µm diameter), glass, and/or matrix from 89 samples collected from depths down to 3079.7 m in the second, and main, HSDP core (HSDP-2)

Geodynamic inversion to constrain the non-linear rheology of the lithosphere
A common method to determine the strength of the lithosphere is through estimating its effective elastic thickness from the coherence between gravity and topography.

Songbirds are a well‐established model group for the study of cultural evolution as their songs are learned (i.e. culturally transmitted), which may lead to divergence in song characteristics between populations. Song variation across populations may be affected by geographical isolation, timing and duration of the learning period, and life strategies ...

Persistent Heterogeneities in the Oceanic Lithosphere Due To Differential Freezing Beneath Ridges
Oceanic lithosphere, which forms two‐thirds of Earth's surface, is generated at mid‐ocean ridge spreading centers. Yet the internal structure of the lithosphere is not well characterized and often considered to be homogeneous relative to the structure of
