Self-gravity, self-consistency, and self-organization in geodynamics and geochemistry [PDF]
, 2005 The results of seismology and geochemistry for mantle structure are widely believed to be discordant, the former favoring whole-mantle convection and the latter favoring layered convection with a boundary near 650 km.

Mechanism of Deep-focus Earthquakes Anomalous Statistics
, 2010 Analyzing the NEIC-data we have shown that the spatial deep-focus earthquake distribution in the Earth interior over the 1993-2006 is characterized by the clearly defined periodical fine discrete structure with period L=50 km, which is solely generated ...

Post-collisional Tertiary–Quaternary mafic alkalic magmatism in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a review [PDF]
, 2004 Mafic alkalic volcanism was widespread in the Carpathian–Pannonian region (CPR) between 11 and 0.2 Ma. It followed the Miocene continental collision of the Alcapa and Tisia blocks with the European plate, as subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism was

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Burial mounds are key elements of Mediterranean funerary landscapes, but in intensively cultivated coastal plains their low‐relief expression is easily obscured by ploughing, levelling and rapidly changing surface conditions, making single‐date observations unreliable.

Three-dimensional P-velocity model of the mantle and seismicity of Fennoscandia.
Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2019 The paper analyzes the three-dimensional P-velocity model of the mantle of North-West Europe (Fennoscandia) in order to isolate the connection of the earth's crustal earthquakes and processes in the mantle.

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 ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Progress in mantle anisotropy research based on XKS phases
地球与行星物理论评XKS shear-wave splitting has been widely applied to investigations of anisotropy in both the upper mantle and the lowermost mantle D" layer, and represents a key tool for probing mantle deformation and dynamics.

Seismotomography of the mantle under the East European platform: mantle velocity boundaries
Геофизический журнал, 2012 Mantle velocity boundaries of EEP have been specified. For the upper mantle and its tranzi-tion zone dynamics of propagation of mantle velocity limits with depth has been presented.

Impact of upper mantle convection on lithosphere hyperextension and subsequent horizontally forced subduction initiation [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 Many plate tectonic processes, such as subduction initiation, are embedded in long-term (>100 Myr) geodynamic cycles often involving subsequent phases of extension, cooling without plate deformation and convergence. However, the impact of upper mantle
