Underplating was originally proposed as the process of magma ponding at the base of the
crust and was inferred from petrologic considerations. This process not only may add high …

Lithium, which is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, became a strategic metal in
the past decade due to its widespread use in electromobility and green technologies. The …

We present a new model of the crustal and tectonic structure of the Arctic region north of 60°
N latitude, constrained as a part of the international Atlas of Geological Maps of the …

This global study of 31 off-shore back-arc basins and subbasins (BABs) identifies their
principal characteristics based on a broad spectrum of geophysical and subduction-related …

Granitic rocks play special role in the dynamics and evolution of the Earth and its thermal
regime. First, their compositional variability, reflected in the distribution of concentrations of …

Abstract Earth Crustal Model 1 (ECM1) is a 1° x 1° global crustal model that describes the
thickness of the crust, including the overlying sediments, and the corresponding seismic …

Curie depths beneath Greenland are revealed by spectral analysis of data from the World
Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map 2. A thermal model of the lithosphere then provides a …

We present a digital model SibCrust of the crustal structure of the Siberian craton (SC) and
the West Siberian basin (WSB), based on all seismic profiles published since 1960 and …

The breakup of Laurasia to form the Northeast Atlantic Realm disintegrated an
inhomogeneous collage of cratons sutured by cross-cutting orogens. Volcanic rifted margins …

Results are presented of a seismic wide-angle reflection/refraction survey along a profile
between the Pannonian Basin (PB) and the East European Craton (EEC) called PANCAKE …
