Ambient noise surface wave tomography of marginal seas in east Asia

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2017
We conducted ambient noise tomography in east Asia, including the Chinese coastal provinces, Korea Peninsular, Japan, Taiwan Island, and marginal seas in between.

Crustal structure and rift flank uplift of the Adare Trough, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2005
The Adare Trough, located 100 km northeast of Cape Adare, Antarctica, represents the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge between East and West Antarctica. It is characterized by pronounced asymmetric rift flanks elevated up to over 2 km above

Ductile Deformation of the Lithospheric Mantle

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2023
The strength of lithospheric plates is a central component of plate tectonics, governed by brittle processes in the shallow portion of the plate and ductile behavior in the deeper portion. We review experimental constraints on ductile deformation of olivine, the main mineral in the upper mantle and thus the lithosphere.

The Seismic Expression of Core Complex‐Style Extensional Detachment Faults in Rifted Margins

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The identification of core complex‐style extensional detachment faults (CCDFs) in rifted margins is crucial for accurately restoring their stratigraphic and thermal histories. Yet recognising CCDFs in seismic reflection images is challenging due to their faint topographic expression; the lack of associated abrupt offset in seismic reflections;

Lithospheric controls on melt production during continental breakup at slow rates of extension: Application to the North Atlantic

, 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.

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]

, 2006
Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to northern Germany. Magmatism is spatially and temporally associated with Alpine-

Emergence of Continents Stabilized the Bioavailability of Boron

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boron is an essential element for the development of life on Earth; borates stabilize ribose in prebiotic reactions and facilitate metabolism in higher plants. There is, however, a relatively narrow surface boron concentration range over which borates stabilize and serve as a micronutrient rather than a toxin.

Constraints on the Fate of Delaminated Lithosphere in the Upper and Mid‐Mantle

Geophysical Research Letters
Delamination of lower continental lithosphere is known to have occurred under different tectonic settings. However, its fate in the mantle is poorly understood.

Water and Oxygen Fugacity in the Lithospheric Mantle Wedge beneath the Northern Canadian Cordillera (Alligator Lake)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018
Assessing water contents of subduction zone mantle peridotites can gain insight into the compositions of slab‐derived fluids/melts and the active margin water cycle.
