Buckling of the oceanic lithosphere from geophysical data and experiments [PDF]
, 1992 Two major hypothesis have been advanced for the formation of the long wavelength (100-300) km undulations of oceanic basement and overlying sediments developed in the central Indian Ocean: whole layer folding (buckling) and local thickening (inverse ...

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

Modification of the lithospheric stress field by lateral variations in plate-mantle coupling [PDF]
, 2009 The presence of deeply penetrating continental roots may locally increase the magnitude of basal shear tractions by up to a factor of 4 compared to a layered viscosity structure.

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

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