Competing Effects of Elastic Heterogeneity and Viscous Flow on Interseismic Coupling at Cascadia
Abstract Interseismic coupling maps are important tools for estimating future earthquake hazard at subduction zones. Often interseismic coupling is estimated from surface velocities using a homogeneous elastic Earth model. However, inversions that incorporate viscoelastic mantle flow or elastic heterogeneity show that each can change the spatial ...

An analog material for ductile non-linear lithosphere rheology: application to lithospheric tearing [PDF]
Stress-dependent non-linear upper mantle rheology has a firm base in rock mechanical tests, where this non-linearity results from dislocation creep of minerals.

Abstract Saturn's Kilometric Radiation (SKR) is a powerful non‐thermal radio auroral emission produced by the Cyclotron Maser Instability (CMI), which generates waves close to the local cyclotron frequency in a highly magnetized plasma from mildly relativistic electrons.

The role of passive margins on the evolution of Subduction-Transform Edge Propagators (STEPs) [PDF]
A Subduction-Transform Edge Propagator (STEP) is the locus of continual lithospheric tearing which enables subduction of one part of a tectonic plate, while the juxtaposed part remains at the surface. A key question is the propagation direction of active

Global Evidence for Off‐Axis Flexural Modification of Abyssal Hill Faults at Mid‐Ocean Ridges
Abstract Young oceanic lithosphere flexes as axial topography decays across mid‐ocean ridge shoulders, yet this deformation has been quantified at only a few segments, leaving its global expression poorly constrained. We analyzed 50 across‐axis bathymetric profiles from 21 regions spanning slow to fast spreading rates, identified 1,201 abyssal‐hill ...

MATHEMATICAL MODELS SIMULATING THE FORMATION OF THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF EPIPLATFORM OROGENS
The sources of the natural stress-strain state (SSS) of epiplatform orogens are investigated by tectonophysical methods based on seismological data. According to the available data, the horizontal axes of the main deviatoric extension are dominant in ...

Rifts, orogens, cratons, and global tectonics: Introduction
A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions.
