Moho topography, ranges and folds of Tibet by analysis of global gravity models and GOCE data. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 The determination of the crustal structure is essential in geophysics, as it gives insight into the geohistory, tectonic environment, geohazard mitigation, etc.

Moho topography beneath the European Eastern Alps by global-phase seismic interferometry [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 In this work we present the application of the global-phase seismic interferometry (GloPSI) technique to a dataset recorded across the Eastern Alps with the EASI (Eastern Alpine Seismic Investigation) temporary seismic network.

Estimates of vertical tectonic stress in the northwest Ethiopian plateau using topography and gravity data [PDF]
HeliyonThe northwest Ethiopian plateau is one of the globe's most complex tectonic zones. Within the area, the previous geological and geophysical investigations revealed volcanism and deformation effects but did not thoroughly examine crust movement, isostatic

Northern Scandinavian mountains supported by a low-grade eclogitic crustal keel [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPlate tectonics predicts that mountain ranges form by tectono-magmatic processes at plate boundaries, but high topography is often observed along passive margins far from any plate boundary.

Archean rifts and triple-junctions revealed by gravity modeling of the southern Superior Craton [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe nature of Archean tectonics and the associated geodynamic regimes are much debated in modern geoscience, despite decades of research. In this study, we present a geophysical model to show that, by the Neoarchean, convective forces from rising mantle ...

Earth's Isostatic and Dynamic Topography—A Critical Perspective
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Earth's topography arises from the linear superposition of isostatic and dynamic contributions. The isostatic contribution reflects the distribution of thickness and density of the crust overlying a static, non‐convecting mantle.

Crustal thickness beneath Atlas region from gravity, topographic, sediment and seismic data
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2020 The Atlas region in northwest Africa is characterized by the Quaternary volcanism and elevated topography with past complex tectonic mitigation between the African and European plates.
