Lithospheric failure on Venus [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003
Summary: We develop a predictive model which has the ability to explain a postulated style of episodic plate tectonics on Venus, through the periodic occurrence of lithospheric subduction events. Present-day incipient subduction zones are associated with the existence of arcuate trenches on the Venusian lithosphere.

Analog and Numerical Experiments of Double Subduction Systems With Opposite Polarity in Adjacent Segments

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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.

Sensitivities of surface wave velocities to the medium parameters in a radially anisotropic spherical Earth and inversion strategies

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2015
Sensitivity kernels or partial derivatives of phase velocity (c) and group velocity (U) with respect to medium parameters are useful to interpret a given set of observed surface wave velocity data.

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 ...

Discoidal Structure of the Lithosphere [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1919
Advanced Summary The following discussion seeks to determine inductively the structural character of the lithosphere at depths beyond the reach of observation. The mechanical state of the outer shell of the lithosphere is discussed on the basis of Adams’ experiments with rocks under confining pressures, which demonstrate that pressure increases the ...

The growth of lithospheric diamonds [PDF]

open access: yesScience Advances, 2018
The different habits of lithospheric diamonds are formed from the same fluids, from redox reactions at isotopic equilibrium.

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

Measuring and Modeling Viscoelastic Relaxation of the Lithosphere with Application to the Northern Volcanic Zone, Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Viscoelastic relaxation of the stress perturbation caused by an earthquake or diking event can produce measurable ground deformation over 100 km away from the source. We consider the role of viscoelastic relaxation in two different contexts.

К вопросу аналитической оценки некоторых внутренних размеров Земли

open access: yesVestnik KRAUNC: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2023
С помощью модельного представления о движении ядра Земли в вязком континууме, получено его уравнение движения, и аналитически найден линейный размер барисферы.
