The Ability of Significant Tidal Stress to Initiate Plate Tectonics [PDF]
, 2019 Plate tectonics is a geophysical process currently unique to Earth, has an important role in regulating the Earth's climate, and may be better understood by identifying rocky planets outside our solar system with tectonic activity.

African cratonic lithosphere carved by mantle plumes
Nature Communications, 2018 How cratons, the ancient cores of continents, evolved since their formation over 2.5 Ga ago is debated. Seismic tomography can map the thick lithosphere of cratons, but its resolution is low in sparsely sampled continents.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 In this work we study the dynamics of double subduction systems with opposite polarity in adjacent segments. A combined approach of numerical and analog experiments allows us to compare results and exploit the strengths of both methodologies.

First‐ and second‐order patterns of stress in the lithosphere: The World Stress Map Project
, 1992 To date, more than 7300 in situ stress orientations have been compiled as part of the World Stress Map project. Of these, over 4400 are considered reliable tectonic stress indicators, recording horizontal stress orientations to within

Altered Mantle Fabric Beneath the Mid‐Continent Rift
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 We present new, densely sampled shear‐wave splitting results from southern Minnesota and adjacent areas of neighboring states, sampling the southwestern limit of the Archean Superior Province and straddling the Proterozoic Mid‐Continent Rift (MCR).

Plume‐Induced Subduction Initiation: Single‐Slab or Multi‐Slab Subduction?
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Initiation of subduction following the impingement of a hot buoyant mantle plume is one of the few scenarios that allow breaking the lithosphere and recycling a stagnant lid without requiring any preexisting weak zones.
