Conductive Channels in the Deep Oceanic Lithosphere Could Consist of Garnet Pyroxenites at the Fossilized Lithosphere–Asthenosphere Boundary by Thomas P. Ferrand

“…The high electrical conductivity has been hypothesized to originate from partial melting and melt pooling at the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB). The anisotropic nature of the anomaly likely highlights high-conductivity channels in the spreading direction, which could be further interpreted as the persistence of a stable liquid silicate throughout the whole oceanic cycle, on which the lithospheric plates would slide by shearing. …”

The Behavior of the Lithosphere on Seismic to Geologic Timescales by Watts, A, Zhong, S, Hunter, J

“…The strength of the lithosphere and how it responds to loading and unloading are fundamental problems with wide implications. …”

LITHOSPHERIC FLEXURE AND THE EVOLUTION OF SEDIMENTARY BASINS by Watts, A, Karner, G, Steckler, M

FLEXURE OF LITHOSPHERE AND CONTINENTAL-MARGIN BASINS by Watts, A, Ryan, W

“…The accumulation of sediments at an Atlantic-type continental margin constitutes a load on the lithosphere which simply sags due to its weight. Studies of the geometry of deformation suggests the lithosphere will respond to these loads either by local loading of an Airy-type crust or flexural loading of a strong rigid crust. …”

OBSERVATIONS OF FLEXURE AND THE RHEOLOGY OF THE OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE by Bodine, J, Steckler, M, Watts, A

“…Observations of flexure indicate that the effective flexural rigidity of oceanic lithosphere is a function of the age of the lithosphere at the time of loading, and hence temperature. …”

ON GEOID HEIGHTS AND FLEXURE OF THE LITHOSPHERE AT SEAMOUNTS by Watts, A, Ribe, N

“…Simple 1- and 2-D models have been constructed in which it is assumed that the oceanic lithosphere responds to volcanic loads as a thin elastic plate overlying a weak fluid substratum. …”

Uplift at lithospheric swells-II: is the Cape Verde mid-plate swell supported by a lithosphere of varying mechanical strength? by Wilson, D, Peirce, C, Watts, A, Grevemeyer, I

“…Using the final velocity-depth model to constrain the crust for 3-D 'whole plate' lithospheric flexure modelling of island loading alone, we showthat the lithosphere of the CapeVerde region appears stronger than expected for its age. …”
