Martian Mantle Heat Flow Estimate From the Lack of Lithospheric Flexure in the South Pole of Mars: Implications for Planetary Evolution and Basal Melting

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Heat flow measurements are important for our understanding of planetary interior composition, structure, and evolution. In the absence of direct measurement, a first‐order estimate of a planet's interior heat flow can be made by modeling the lithosphere ...

GEOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF AMORPHIZATION OF THE LITHOSPHERE AND UPPER MANTLE STRUCTURES CAUSED BY HYDROGEN DEGASSING

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
Formation of the geological medium boundaries and patterns is specific, but such specific features have not been fully considered yet. No consideration is given to the nature of periodic variations of various parameters of the geological medium from the ...

Is There a Global Carbonate Layer in the Oceanic Mantle?

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Previous modeling of carbonate subduction by high‐pressure experimentation has allowed to propose scenarios for bulk carbon return to the mantle, but the detailed transfer mechanisms have seldom been studied.

Lithospheric controls on melt production during continental breakup at slow rates of extension: Application to the North Atlantic

, 2009
Rifted margins form from extension and breakup of the continentallithosphere. If this extension is coeval with a region of hotter lithosphere,then it is generally assumed that a volcanic margin would follow.

Crustal structure of the Cape Verde Swell: Insights into the flexural response of the lithosphere to loading [PDF]

, 2011
Throughout the ocean basins many broad regions of anomalously shallow topography exist that do not fit the widely accepted model of conductive plate cooling and subsidence as a function of lithospheric age.

Ambient noise surface wave tomography of marginal seas in east Asia

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2017
We conducted ambient noise tomography in east Asia, including the Chinese coastal provinces, Korea Peninsular, Japan, Taiwan Island, and marginal seas in between.

A XENOLITH-BASED LITHOSPHERIC TRANSECT OF THE SLAVE CRATON, N.W.T., CANADA [PDF]

, 2012
During the last decade, the Canadian Slave craton has emerged as an important global diamond resource. Recent work on the sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) beneath this craton has yielded tantalising suggestions about its structure and ...

Tibetan and Indian lithospheres in the upper mantle beneath Tibet: Evidence from broadband surface‐wave dispersion

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013
Broadband seismic experiments over the last two decades have produced dense data coverage across Tibet. Yet, the mechanism of the India‐Asia lithospheric convergence beneath it remains a puzzle, with even its basic features debated and with very ...

The effective elastic thickness of the India Plate from receiver function imaging, gravity anomalies and thermomechanical modelling

, 2006
The range and the meaning of the effective elastic thickness (EET) in continental areas have been subject to controversy over the last two decades. Here we take advantage of the new data set from the Hi-CLIMB seismological experiment to re-estimate the ...
