IODP Expeditions 304 & 305 Characterize the Lithology, Structure, and Alteration of an Oceanic Core Complex [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2006 More than forty years after the Mohole Project (Bascom, 1961), the goal of drilling a complete section through in situ oceanic crust remains unachieved.

Fully nonlinear inversion of fundamental mode surface waves for a global crustal model [PDF]
, 2007 We use neural networks to find 1-dimensional marginal probability density functions (pdfs) of global crustal parameters. The information content of the full posterior and prior pdfs can quantify the extent to which a parameter is constrained by the data.

Crustal structure of the Borderland-Continent Transition Zone of southern California adjacent to Los Angeles [PDF]
, 2003 We use data from the onshore-offshore component of Los Angeles Region Seismic Experiment (LARSE) to model the broad-scale features of the midcrust to upper mantle beneath a north-south transect that spans the continental borderland in the Los Angeles ...

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Metamorphic soles found under allochthonous oceanic lithosphere, or ophiolites, are interpreted as derived from lower plate oceanic crust material accreted to upper plate mantle during intraoceanic subduction initiation.

Age, Depth, and Residual Depth Anomalies in the North Pacific: Implications for Thermal Models of the Lithosphere and Upper Mantle [PDF]
, 1986 We present an empirical basement depth versus age relation for the North Pacific Ocean, based on the statistical treatment of an ocean-wide gridded data set.

Body wave dispersion characteristics of regional deep earthquake at Southern Ryukyus subduction zone [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The convergent plate boundaries known as the subduction zone is the location where the cold, hydrate, and old oceanic plate subduct under the hot, dry, and young continental plate. The top of the oceanic plate, i.e. the oceanic crust usually is less than

Antineutrino Geophysics with Liquid Scintillator Detectors [PDF]
, 1997 Detecting the antineutrinos emitted by the decay of radioactive elements in the mantle and crust could provide a direct measurement of the total abundance of uranium and thorium in the Earth.

Re-Os isotope and platinum group elements of a FOcal ZOne mantle source, Louisville Seamounts Chain, Pacific ocean [PDF]
, 2015 The Louisville Seamount Chain (LSC) is, besides the Hawaiian-Emperor Chain, one of the longest-lived hotspot traces. We report here the first Re-Os isotope and platinum group element (PGE) data for Canopus, Rigil, and Burton Guyots along the chain, which

Synchronous oceanic spreading and continental rifting in West Antarctica
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Magnetic anomalies associated with new ocean crust formation in the Adare Basin off north‐western Ross Sea (43–26 Ma) can be traced directly into the Northern Basin that underlies the adjacent morphological continental shelf, implying a continuity in the
