A stagnant slab is a subducted slab of oceanic lithosphere subhorizontally deflected above,
across, or below the 660 km discontinuity. This phenomenon has now been widely …

▪ Abstract We review the present status of global mantle tomography and discuss two main
classes of models that have been developed in the past 10 years: P velocity models based …

Agricultural soil erosion is thought to perturb the global carbon cycle, but estimates of its
effect range from a source of 1 petagram per year–1 to a sink of the same magnitude. By …

The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic
graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised …

This study presents an integrated study of the North China Craton (NCC) based on recent
high-resolution seismic images combined with observations on surface geology, regional …

Early Cretaceous Fangcheng basalts, erupted in Luxi region of Shandong Province, China,
contain olivine xenocrysts with clear compositional zonations, which provide evidence for …

Significant left-lateral movement along the Ailao Shan-Red River fault accommodated a
substantial amount of the late Eocene to early Miocene India-Asia convergence. However …

Summary We apply the Automated Multimode Inversion of surface and S-wave forms to a
large global data set, verify the accuracy of the method and assumptions behind it, and …

Clouds have been observed recently on Titan, through the thick haze, using near-infrared
spectroscopy and images near the south pole and in temperate regions near 40° S. Recent …

The mantle's compositional structure reflects the thermochemical evolution of Earth. Yet,
even the radial average composition of the mantle remains debated. Here, we analyze a …
