GRAVITY EFFECT OF DOWNGOING LITHOSPHERIC SLABS BENEATH ISLAND ARCS by Watts, A, Talwani, M

Oriented grain growth and modification of 'frozen anisotropy' in the lithospheric mantle by Boneh, Y, Wallis, D, Hansen, L, Krawczynski, M, Skemer, P

“…Seismic anisotropy throughout the oceanic lithosphere is often assumed to be generated by fossilized texture formed during deformation at asthenospheric temperatures close to the ridge. …”

A DYNAMIC-MODEL OF LITHOSPHERE EXTENSION AND SEDIMENTARY BASIN FORMATION by Houseman, G, England, P

Subduction initiation with vertical lithospheric heterogeneities and new fault formation by Mao, X, Gurnis, M, May, D

“…How subduction initiates with mechanically unfavorable lithospheric heterogeneities is important and rarely studied. …”

Destruction and regrowth of lithospheric mantle beneath large igneous provinces by Stephenson, SN, Ball, PW, Richards, FD

“…Oceanic lithosphere rethickens to 125 km, while continental regions reach >190 km. …”

Extremely young melt infiltration of the sub-continental lithospheric mantle by Turner, S, Turner, M, Bourdon, B, Cooper, K, Porcelli, D

“…In principle, the resultant metasomatised mantle could provide a component for some ocean island basalts, should the sub-continental lithospheric mantle be returned to the asthenosphere by convective removal at some later time. …”

Lithospheric strength and its relationship to the elastic and seismogenic layer thickness by Watts, A, Burov, E

“…Plate flexure is a phenomenon that describes how the lithosphere responds to long-term (> 105 yr) geological loads. …”

Gravity anomalies, flexure, and the long-term rigidity of the continental lithosphere by Jordan, T, Tom Jordan

“…<p>The cause and distribution of spatial variations in the mechanical properties of the continental lithosphere are fundamental questions for modern geology. …”

ROLE OF LITHOSPHERIC STRENGTH HETEROGENEITIES IN THE TECTONICS OF TIBET AND NEIGHBORING REGIONS by England, P, Houseman, G

“…We interpret the Tertiary deformation of Asia as the three-dimensional strain of a non-linear, viscous continental lithosphere. Lateral strength contrasts modify this deformation; stress concentration around the relatively strong Tarim basin gives rise to local crustal thickening in the Tien Shan to the north and to strike slip in the Altyn Tagh along its southern margin. © 1985 Nature Publishing Group.…”

The relationship between mantle potential temperature and oceanic lithosphere buoyancy by Weller, O, Copley, A, Miller, W, Palin, R, Dyck, B

“…Our results indicate that oceanic lithosphere derived from hotter mantle has a greater negative buoyancy, and therefore subduction potential, than lithosphere derived from cooler mantle for a wide range of subduction scenarios. …”

TEMPERATURES IN ZONES OF STEADY-STATE UNDERTHRUSTING OF YOUNG OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE by Molnar, P, England, P

“…Rapid conduction of heat through the top surface of young oceanic lithosphere can contribute at least some of the heat necessary for high-temperature-low-pressure metamorphism of rock buried in subduction zones and, perhaps, for melting in such environments. …”

Lithospheric flexure, uplift, and landscape evolution in south-central England

“…It is concluded that lithospheric flexure due to the removal of &gt;500 km3 of soft Late Triassic and Early Jurassic clays and marls from large areas of the Midlands and their re-deposition in the Celtic Deep might account for this Late Pleistocene uplift. …”

Lithospheric flexure, uplift, and landscape evolution in south-central England by Watts, A, McKerrow, W, Fielding, E

“…It is concluded that lithospheric flexure due to the removal of &gt;500 km3 of soft Late Triassic and Early Jurassic clays and marls from large areas of the Midlands and their re-deposition in the Celtic Deep might account for this Late Pleistocene uplift. …”

INVESTIGATION OF LITHOSPHERIC STRUCTURE IN MONGOLIA: INSIGHTS FROM INSAR OBSERVATIONS AND MODELLING by Z. Jing, Z. Jing, F. Bihong, S. Pilong, G. Qiang, G. Qiang

“…This work is important for understanding not only the regional tectonics, but also the structure and dynamics of the lithosphere. <br><br> SAR data were acquired from the ERS1/2 and Envisat from 1996 to 2010. …”
