Approximately 70 percent of the world's population is concentrated in the coastal
borderlands, which geologists recognize to be the present continental margins. This new …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple gas with free radical chemical properties, but itis often confused
with the chemically distinct nitrous oxide, N2O, which is used as an anesthetic and is …

A method is presented for the inversion of waveform data for the three‐dimensional
distribution of seismic wave velocities. The method is applied to data from the global digital …

Density contrasts in the lower mantle, inferred using seismic tomography, drive viscous flow;
this results in kilometres of dynamically maintained topography at the core–mantle boundary …

The Mediterranean offers a unique opportunity to study the driving forces of tectonic
deformation within a complex mobile belt. Lithospheric dynamics are affected by slab …

The Earth's crustal stress field controls active deformation and reflects the processes driving
plate tectonics. Here we present the first quantitative synthesis of relative principal stress …

GyPSuM is a 3‐D model of mantle shear wave (S) speeds, compressional wave (P) speeds,
and density. The model is developed through simultaneous inversion of seismic body wave …

The data from the International Seismological Centre bulletins for the years 1964–1979 are
used to derive a three‐dimensional model of lateral variations of the P velocity in the lower …

Geoid anomalies are primarily the result of the density contrasts driving mantle convection
and plate motion. The total geoid anomaly resulting from a given density contrast in a …

We present new profiles of mantle viscosity derived on the basis of non-linear, Occam-style
joint inversions of an extensive set of data associated with mantle convection and glacial …
