Seismic travel-time tomography of the mantle under SE Asia reveals patterns of subduction-
related seismic P-wave velocity anomalies that are of great value in hel** to understand …

Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of
subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained …

We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

Observations of seismic anisotropy yield some of the most direct constraints available on
both past and present-day deformation in the Earth's mantle. Insight into the character of …

Earth as an Evolving Planetary System, Fourth Edition discusses key topics dealing with the
evolution and interaction through time of Earth's crust, mantle, core, atmosphere …

Various models of the origin of the asthenosphere are reviewed based on the latest
observations on mineral physics of mechanical properties, melting relationships and the …

Subducting plates around the globe display a large variability in terms of slab geometry,
including regions where smooth and little variation in subduction parameters is observed …

The Pacific Northwest has undergone complex plate reorganization and intense tectono‐
volcanic activity to the east during the Cenozoic (last 65 Ma). Here we show new high …

Although an average westward rotation of the Earth's lithosphere is indicated by global
analyses of surface features tied to the deep mantle (eg, hot spot tracks), the rate of …

The geodynamic significance of continental volcanoes located far from the plate boundaries
remains highly controversial as exemplified by contrasting models that favor either a deep …
