The lower part of lithosphere in collisional orogens may delaminate due to density inversion between the asthenosphere and the cold thickened lithospheric mantle. Generally, standard delamination models have neglected density changes within the crust and

To improve the understanding of the formation and evolution of the sub‐continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) underlying the South Australian Craton we have conducted a detailed petrological study on >3,000 mantle xenocrysts from 13 kimberlites emplaced ...

Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

On Cahn–Hilliard Type Viscoelastoplastic Two‐Phase Flows
ABSTRACT This contribution deals with a model for viscoelastoplastic two‐phase flows of Cahn–Hilliard type. We present the modeling framework for the flow, the notion of a generalized solution, namely the so‐called dissipative solution, and the key ideas of the existence proof.

Oxygen isotope geochemistry of the second HSDP core [PDF]
Oxygen isotope ratios were measured in olivine phenocrysts (~1 mm diameter), olivine microphenocrysts (generally ~100–200 µm diameter), glass, and/or matrix from 89 samples collected from depths down to 3079.7 m in the second, and main, HSDP core (HSDP-2)

The United States Magnetotelluric Array and the National Impedance Map
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.

Broadband seismic experiments over the last two decades have produced dense data coverage across Tibet. Yet, the mechanism of the India‐Asia lithospheric convergence beneath it remains a puzzle, with even its basic features debated and with very ...

Evolving force balance during incipient subduction [PDF]
Nearly half of all active subduction zones initiated during the Cenozoic. All subduction zones associated with active back arc extension have initiated since the Eocene, hinting that back arc extension may be intimately associated with an interval ...

Convective instability of thickening mantle lithosphere [PDF]
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 ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...
