Crust-mantle decoupling beneath Afar revealed by Rayleigh-wave tomography
Scientific Reports, 2022 The Afar triple junction accustoms the diverging plate dynamics between the Arabian, Nubian, and Somalian plates along the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and East African rifts.

Strains arising by seismic events in the SIRGAS-CON network region
Journal of Geodetic Science, 2013 In this study, we investigate surface strains related to seismic events and their relationship with pre- and post-seismic events in Latin America, by analyzing the variation of estimated earth coordinates supplied by a geodetic network called SIRGAS-CON.

Convergent flow in a two-layer system and mountain building [PDF]
, 2010 With the purpose of modelling the process of mountain building, we investigate the evolution of the ridge produced by the convergent motion of a system consisting of two layers of liquids that differ in density and viscosity to simulate the crust and the

GEOMAGNETIC CONJUGACY OF MODERN TECTONIC STRUCTURES
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015 An earthquake is an element of the global electric circuit (GEC) – this new idea suggested in the space age is tested in our study. In the frame of the GEC concept, one may expect that tectonic structures of the northern and southern hemispheres may be ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 A key feature of subduction zone geodynamics and thermal structure is the point at which the slab and mantle mechanically couple. This point defines the depth at which traction between slab and mantle begins to drive mantle wedge circulation and also ...

A Global Plate Model Including Lithospheric Deformation Along Major Rifts and Orogens Since the Triassic [PDF]
, 2019 Global deep‐time plate motion models have traditionally followed a classical rigid plate approach, even though plate deformation is known to be significant.

Inevitability of Plate Tectonics on Super-Earths [PDF]
, 2007 The recent discovery of super-Earths (masses less or equal to 10 earth-masses) has initiated a discussion about conditions for habitable worlds. Among these is the mode of convection, which influences a planet's thermal evolution and surface conditions ...

Geodynamic GNSS observations on the Kuril Islands [PDF]
Геосистемы переходных зон, 2022 The network of geodynamic GNSS observations was deployed in 2006 throughout the Kuril island arc from Japan to Kamchatka. The network includes 11 stations of continuous and periodic registration.

Hierarchical Clustering of Seismic Activity Local Territories Globe [PDF]
, 2019 In article, the interrelation between energy parameters of Globe moving in a system Sun-Earth-Moon has been established. It includes features of a seasonal energy condition of an internal core of Earth and the key energy parameters of tectonic activity ...

Литосфера, 2017 General positions on plate-tectonic metallogeny are presented and the grounds for singling out the metallogenic factors of orogenic systems are given. Mobilistic paradigma corresponds to the genotype of orogens and belts which being formed at the expense
