UPPER MANTLE CONVECTION RELATED TO SUBDUCTION ZONE AND APPLICATION OF THE MODEL TO INVESTIGATE THE CRETACEOUS-CENOZOIC GEODYNAMICS OF CENTRAL EAST ASIA AND THE ARCTIC

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2021
A geodynamic model of upper mantle convection related to the Pacific subduction zone is mathematically substantiated and applied to investigate the Cretaceous-Cenozoic evolution of Central East Asia (CEA) and the Arctic. We present a solution for the two-

Smart Speed Imaging in Digital Image Correlation: Application to Seismotectonic Scale Modeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Analog models of earthquakes and seismic cycles are characterized by strong variations in strain rate: from slow interseismic loading to fast coseismic release of elastic energy.

Seismotectonics of Mongolia and Baikal Rift Zone Controlled by Lithospheric Structures

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
Active tectonics are developing in Mongolia and the Baikal rift zone, where large crustal earthquakes (Mw ≥ 6.0) occur frequently. To clarify the mechanism of these earthquakes, we determine a high‐resolution 3‐D P‐wave velocity model of the crust and ...

GEODYNAMICS OF URANIUM ORE FIELDS IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE INHUL MEGABLOK OF THE UKRAINIAN SHIELD

open access: yesГеохімія техногенезу, 2021
The Ingul megablock of the Ukrainian Shield contains a number of endogenous deposits of the sodium-uranium formation, which have been developed for more than 55-60 years.

Are There One or More Geophysical Coupling Mechanisms before Earthquakes? The Case Study of Lushan (China) 2013

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Several possible lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling mechanisms before earthquake occurrence are presented in the literature. They are described by several models with different interaction channels (e.g., electromagnetic, mechanics, chemical ...

Subparallel thrust and normal faulting in Albania and the roles of gravitational potential energy and rheology contrasts in mountain belts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The active tectonics of Albania and surrounding regions, on the eastern margin of the Adriatic Sea, is characterized by subparallel thrust and normal faulting which, we suggest, is likely to be related to gravitational potential energy contrasts between ...

Evidence of Segmentation in the Iberia–Africa Plate Boundary: A Jurassic Heritage?

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
The present structure of the Iberia−Africa plate boundary between the Gorringe Bank and the Algerian Basin is characterized by a highly segmented geometry and diffused seismicity. Filtered Bouguer gravity data show conspicuous highs coinciding with

Horizontal mantle flow controls subduction dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
It is generally accepted that subduction is driven by downgoing-plate negative buoyancy. Yet plate age –the main control on buoyancy– exhibits little correlation with most of the present-day subduction velocities and slab dips. “West”-directed subduction

THE GLOBAL ENDODRAINAGE SYSTEM: SOME FLUID-PHYSICAL MECHANISMS OF GEODYNAMIC PROCESSES

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2019
The article presents the main results of more than forty-year studies of the hydrogeodeformation field. We have establish some new properties of lithospheric massifs, which are clearly detectable during the periods of fast geodynamic activation (FGeDA ...

A Comparison of Gravimetric, Isostatic, and Spectral Decomposition Methods for a Possible Enhancement of the Mantle Signature in the Long-Wavelength Geoidal Geometry

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
A long-wavelength geoidal geometry characterizes the most pronounced features of the Indian Ocean geoid low and the West Pacific and North Atlantic geoid highs.
