Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Spatio‐temporal changes of upper mantle structure play a significant role in generating and maintaining surface topography. Although geophysical models of upper mantle structure have become increasingly refined, there is a paucity of geologic constraints

Estimation of the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere: progress and prospects
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 The lithospheric strength is a key factor in controlling the lithosphere dynamics and deformations. The effective elastic thickness (Te) of the lithosphere can always be used to address the lithospheric strength. Hence, it is a powerful tool for studying

, 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.

The westward drift of the lithosphere. A tidal ratchet? [PDF]
, 2018 Is the westerly rotation of the lithosphere an ephemeral accidental recent phenomenon or is it a stable process of Earth’s geodynamics? The reason why the tidal drag has been questioned as the mechanism determining the lithospheric shift relative to ...

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).

Геодинамика 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-

Thin elastic shells with variable thickness for lithospheric flexure of one-plate planets [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International 172 (2), 817-841 (2008), 2007 Planetary topography can either be modeled as a load supported by the lithosphere, or as a dynamical effect due to lithospheric flexure caused by mantle convection. In both cases the response of the lithosphere to external forces can be calculated with the theory of thin elastic plates or shells.

Sedimentation record in the Konkan-Kerala Basin: implications for the evolution of the Western Ghats and the Western Indian passive margin [PDF]
, 2007 The Konkan and Kerala Basins constitute a major depocentre for sediment from the onshore hinterland of Western India and as such provide a valuable record of the timing and magnitude of Cenozoic denudation along the continental margin.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 127-141, January 2023., 2023 Species boundaries were examined in a controversial group of bees, the Andrena proxima‐complex. COI (phylogenetic tree, left) and UCE data (PCA, middle right) were congruent and suggest the presence of three separated species, which appear to be in different stages of speciation: A. proxima and A. alutacea are found in sympatry with no gene flow, while

Lithosphere, 2009 Dear Readers, So, do we really need another journal full of papers on solid earth science taking up shelf space in our offices and competing for scarce subscription funds in our libraries? The answer to this question was, in a sense, addressed 150 years ago by Charles Darwin in a somewhat ...
