Modification of Crust and Mantle Lithosphere Beneath the Southern Part of the Eastern North American Passive Margin

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
The eastern North American passive margin was modified by Mesozoic rifting. Seismic data from recent deployment of onshore and offshore stations offer a unique opportunity for studying the signature of syn‐rifting and postrifting in lithospheric ...

Active megadetachment beneath the western United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Geodetic data, interpreted in light of seismic imaging, seismicity, xenolith studies, and the late Quaternary geologic history of the northern Great Basin, suggest that a subcontinental-scale extensional detachment is localized near the Moho.

Western US intraplate deformation controlled by the complex lithospheric structure

open access: yesNature Communications
The western United States is one of Earth’s most tectonically active regions, characterized by extensive crustal deformation through intraplate earthquakes and geodetic motion.

Shoshonitic enclaves in the high Sr/Y Nyemo pluton, southern Tibet: Implications for Oligocene magma mixing and the onset of extension of the southern Lhasa terrane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Post-collisional potassic and high Sr/Y magmatism in the Lhasa terrane provides critical constraints on the timing and mechanism of subduction of Indian lithosphere and its role in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.

The Deep Lithospheric Structure of the South Australian Craton Revealed by Teleseismic Rayleigh Wave Tomography

open access: yesSeismica
We used teleseismic Rayleigh waves recorded by three recent broadband seismic arrays in southern Australia to develop a shear wave velocity model of the South Australian Craton from the lower crust to 250 km depth and compare this with isotope data ...

Convective instability of thickening mantle lithosphere [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2000
Mantle lithosphere, being colder and therefore denser than the underlying mantle, is prone to convective instability that can be induced by horizontal shortening. Numerical experiments on a cold layer with imposed horizontal shortening are carried out to examine the relative importance of mechanical thickening, thermal diffusion and gravitational ...

The United States Magnetotelluric Array and the National Impedance Map

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The United States Magnetotelluric Array (USMTArray) data set, collected in the years 2006–2024, consists of more than 1,700 long‐period magnetotelluric stations covering the entirety of the contiguous United States on a quasi‐regular 70 km grid.
