Time-dependent frictional properties of granular materials used in analogue modelling: implications for mimicking fault healing during reactivation and inversion [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2023 Analogue models are often used to model long-term geological processes such as mountain building or basin inversion. Most of these models use granular materials such as sand or glass beads to simulate the brittle behaviour of the crust.

Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2022 Active-source surface wave exploration is advantageous because it has high imaging accuracy, is not affected by high-speed layers, and has a low cost; thus, it has unique advantages for investigating shallow surface structures.

Surface wave imaging using deep reflection seismic data: a study on the Cuonadong dome
Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 As interference waves in deep reflection data processing, surface waves are often suppressed as noise, but surface waves carry considerable underground media information, including structural information and the physical properties of rocks.

The subantarctic lithospheric mantle [PDF]
Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2021 Abstract We present a summary of peridotite in the Subantarctic (46–60° S) surrounding the Antarctic Plate. Peridotite xenoliths occur on the Kerguelen Islands and Auckland Islands. The Kerguelen Islands are underlain by a plume, whereas the Auckland Islands are part of continental Zealandia, which is a Gondwana-rifted fragment. Small amounts

Intraplate lithosphere deformation and the strength of the lithosphere [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1984 Summary. The intraplate deformation of continental lithosphere in response to applied stress has been investigated using a mathematical model which incorporates the elastic, ductile and brittle response of lithosphere material. Ductile deformation is assumed to be controlled in the crust by dislocation creep in quartz, and in the mantle by dislocation ...

Kinematics and Convergent Tectonics of the Northwestern South American Plate During the Cenozoic
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The interaction of the northern Nazca and southwestern Caribbean oceanic plates with northwestern South America (NWSA) and the collision of the Panama‐Choco arc (PCA) have significant implications on the evolution of the northern Andes.
