The thin-skin Sevier and thick-skin Laramide belts of the North American Cordillera provide
a long-term record of the interrelations between evolving styles of mountain building and …

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 …

In global-scale seismic tomography, teleseismic P and PP waves mainly constrain structures
in the upper two thirds of the mantle, whereas core-diffracted waves (Pdiff) constrain the …

Giant magma-related ore systems are prime targets for modern mineral exploration, yet it is
unclear what controls their formation. The magmas originate in Earth's convecting mantle. To …

Mantle seismic structure beneath the United States spanning from the active western plate
margin to the passive eastern margin was imaged with teleseismic P and S wave traveltime …

Abstract Long period (10–20,000 s) magnetotelluric (MT) data are being acquired across the
continental USA on a quasi-regular grid of∼ 70 km spacing as an electromagnetic …

The deployment of USArray during the last decade has produced dense sampling of the
central part of the North American continent with broadband seismic data. Regional …

The Laramide orogeny had a spatially variable lifespan, which we explain using a
geodynamic model that incorporates onset and demise of flat-slab subduction. Laramide …

Stratigraphic, geochronologic, and geochemical patterns of Neoproterozoic to Cambrian
sedimentary and volcanic rocks in Utah, Nevada, and SE Idaho record a dynamically …

The Colorado plateau is a large, tectonically intact, physiographic province in the
southwestern North American Cordillera that stands at∼ 1,800–2,000 m elevation and has …
