Geodynamics of continental rift initiation and evolution
A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

Earth crustal model 1 (ECM1): A 1 x 1 global seismic and density model
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 …

Modification of the Western Gondwana craton by plume–lithosphere interaction
The longevity of cratons is generally attributed to persistence of neutrally-to-positively
buoyant and mechanically strong lithosphere that shields the cratonic crust from underlying …
