Mantle transect of the Karelian Craton from margin to core based on P-T data from garnet and clinopyroxene xenocrysts in kimberlites [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2009
Peridotitic garnet and clinopyroxene xenocrysts from the 1.2 Ga Lentiira-Kuhmo and the 760 Ma Kuusamo kimberlite fields, emplaced within the Central Karelian Craton, have been studied using major and trace element geochemistry to obtain information on ...

Lithospheric Stress Tensor from Gravity and Lithospheric Structure Models

open access: yesPure and Applied Geophysics, 2017
In this study we investigate the lithospheric stresses computed from the gravity and lithospheric structure models. The functional relation between the lithospheric stress tensor and the gravity field parameters is formulated based on solving the boundary-value problem of elasticity in order to determine the propagation of stresses inside the ...

Digital image processing and isostatic studies of the regional gravity field of Great Britain and adjacent marine regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the regional gravity field of Great Britain and the adjacent regions. A prerequisite for this study was the development of a computer database designed to store, manipulate and display the ...

Resolution test of GOCE satellite data applied to density anomalies at crustal and upper mantle levels

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2018
The Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite mission was devised by the European Space Agency to study the Earth’s gravity field with an unprecedented accuracy using gravity gradient data.

Structure and evolution of the intracratonic Congo Basin

open access: yes
Surface wave tomography, heat flow, and crustal thickness measurements have demonstrated that the thickness of the continental lithosphere varies by at least a factor of 2. Since the thermal time constant of the lithosphere depends upon the square of its

Upper-mantle seismic anisotropy from SKS splitting in the South American stable platform: A test of asthenospheric flow models beneath the lithosphere

open access: yes, 2011
Upper-mantle seismic anisotropy has been extensively used to infer both present and past deformation processes at lithospheric and asthenospheric depths.

Age-dependent seismic thickness and mechanical strength of the Australian lithosphere

open access: yes, 2002
We present constraints on the regional variations of the seismic and mechanical thickness of the Australian lithosphere. We infer the seismic thickness from a waveform tomographic model of S-wave speed, and as a proxy for the elastic thickness we use the

Re-os isotope constraints on the age of the Lithospheric mantle beneath western Greenland. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Alkaline magmatic activity across Western Greenland (W.G.) provides a record of lithosphere evolution over the last 600 Ma. Ultra Mafic Lamprophyre (UML) magmatism in particular has erupted an exceptional inventory of mantle xenoliths allowing a detailed

Thermochemical Structure of the Superior Craton and Environs: Implications for the Evolution and Preservation of Cratonic Lithosphere

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The Archean Superior craton was formed by the assemblage of continental and oceanic terranes at ∼2.6 Ga. The craton is surrounded by multiple Proterozoic mobile belts, including the Paleoproterozoic Trans‐Hudson Orogen which brought together the Superior
