Thermal disequilibrium during melt-transport: Implications for the evolution of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary [PDF]
This study explores how thermal disequilibrium during melt-infiltration and melt-rock interaction may modify the continental lithosphere from beneath. Using an idealized 1D model of thermal disequilibrium between melt-rich channels and the surrounding melt-poor material, I estimate heat exchange across channel walls during channelized melt transport at

Geodynamics of the Lithosphere [PDF]
It is bad luck for Kurt Stuwe that Geodynamics of the Lithosphere, an excellent book, has been published in the same year as the long‐awaited second edition of Geodynamics by D.H. Turcotte and G. Schubert. It is doubly bad luck that by publishing in paperback, the latter have undercut him by almost $25. Nevertheless, a comparison of the two books shows

Introduction. Transtension is a system of stresses that tends to cause oblique extension, i.e. combined extension and strike slip. Syn-volcanic transtensional deformations of the lithosphere may provide two possible scenarios for control of magmatic ...

The Ability of Significant Tidal Stress to Initiate Plate Tectonics [PDF]
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. The key criterion for whether or not plate tectonics may occur on a terrestrial planet is if the stress on a planet's ...

Does the Earth show up an impending mega-earthquake? [PDF]
In line of the intermediate-term monitoring of seismic activity aimed at prediction of the world largest earthquakes the seismic dynamics of the Earth's lithosphere is analysed as a single whole, which is the ultimate scale of the complex hierarchical non-linear system.

Seismicity observed, at Methoni seismogenic area, Greece, after the analysis of the recorded Earth_s electric field of 21/2/2008_ 22/2/2008, at PYR, ATH and HIO monitoring sites, Greece [PDF]
The seismicity, which took place at the Methoni seismogenic area, in the time period of 20/2/2008 - 10/4/2008, is analyzed in terms of its location, time of occurrence and magnitude. Furthermore, it is compared to the tidal (T=14 days, T=1 day) lithospheric oscillation and to the epicentral area suggested by the analysis of the Earth_s electric field ...
