Inferring the Thermomechanical State of the Lithosphere Using Geophysical and Geochemical Observables

This thesis focuses on interpreting geophysical and geochemical observables in terms of the thermomechanical state of the lithosphere. In Chapter 1, I correlate lower crustal rheology with seismic wave speed. Compositional variation is required to explain half of the total variability in predicted l...
