Abstract The East Africa-Arabia topographic swell is an anomalously high-elevation region
of~ 4000 km long (from southern Ethiopia to Jordan) and~ 1500 km wide (from Egypt to …

Understanding the dynamics of suturing and cratonisation and their implications are vital in
estimating the link between the lithospheric mantle architecture and geothermal resources …

We have constructed a 3-D shear wave velocity (Vs) model for the crust and uppermost
mantle beneath the Middle East using Rayleigh wave records obtained from ambient-noise …

Hot plumes rising from Earth's deep mantle are thought to cause uplift, rifting and large
igneous province (LIP) emplacement. LIP volcanism in continents often spans tens of Ma …

Widespread Cenozoic volcanism in the Arabian Peninsula has been attributed to mantle
plume activity and/or lithospheric thinning due to rift‐related extension. However, there is …

The investigation of the rigid lithospheric mantle architecture floating over the weaker hotter
asthenosphere is key to understanding the plate tectonic evolution of the Eastern Ghats …

Abstract We estimated Rayleigh-and Love-wave group-velocity dispersion curves using
dense seismic networks in Saudi Arabia and nearby countries. We merged our data with …

We develop a new 3‐D shear velocity model for the lithosphere and sublithospheric mantle
under Saudi Arabia by jointly inverting P wave receiver functions, S wave receiver functions …

In this study, we investigate the upper‐mantle structure of the Arabian plate based on
anelastic full‐waveform inversion. The Arabian plate is composed of two main geological …

A long-standing question in geodynamics is whether mantle flow is driven by the plate
motion alone, or mantle upwelling makes a significant contribution to it. Subducting slabs …
