The misorientation index: Development of a new method for calculating the strength of lattice-preferred orientation
Using orientation data from experimentally deformed olivine, we explore some practical
problems with the J-index, a commonly applied measure of fabric strength. We show that the …

Dehydration-driven stress transfer triggers intermediate-depth earthquakes
Abstract Intermediate-depth earthquakes (30–300 km) have been extensively documented
within subducting oceanic slabs, but their mechanics remains enigmatic. Here we decipher …

Effects of melt depletion on the density and seismic velocity of garnet and spinel lherzolite
We examine the effects of melt depletion on density and anharmonic VP and VS on the
basis of the melting relations of fertile peridotite between 1 and 7 GPa. We incorporate the …
