Continental lithosphere is deformed, destroyed, or otherwise modified in several ways.
Processes that modify the lithosphere include subduction, terrane accretion, orogenesis …

We present a novel approach to global-scale full-waveform inversion (FWI) that can reduce
computational cost by over an order of magnitude, compared to previously published …

Juxtaposed terranes of highly varied tectonic history make up the contiguous US: the
tectonically active western US, the largely quiescent Archean and Proterozoic cratons of the …

Lateral changes in seismic velocity 100–300 km beneath the Appalachian orogen (eastern
North America) do not follow the pattern of its major terranes, suggesting that more recent …

Seismic anisotropy beneath eastern North America, as expressed in shear wave splitting
observations, has been attributed to plate motion‐parallel shear in the asthenosphere …

Teleseismic receiver functions were calculated to image the Moho geometry in the northern
Appalachian Mountains in order to explore crustal thickness variations and possible …

The passive margin of the eastern coast of the United States is known to be geologically
active, with recently rejuvenated topography, intraplate seismicity, and volcanism of Eocene …

Abstract Eastern North America was constructed over several Wilson cycles, culminating in
the breakup of Pangea. Previous seismological imaging lacked the resolution to depict …

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Atlantic-style passive margins have
experienced episodes of uplift and volcanism in response to changes in mantle circulation …

Studying the driving force of intracratonic uplifts is important in understanding the
deformation mechanism of continental lithosphere and the role of mantle dynamics. The …
