The Thermal Regime of NW Canada and Alaska, and Tectonic and Seismicity Consequences

Abstract NW Canada and Alaska are the continuation of the North American Cordillera through Mexico, western USA and western Canada. I show that they have similar thermal regimes and thermal control of tectonics and seismicity. I first summarize the multiple constraints to crust and upper mantle temp...
