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 …

Mechanical properties of lithosphere are of primary importance for interpretation of
deformation at all spatial and time scales, from local scale to large-scale geodynamics and …

Porphyry deposits arguably represent the most economically important class of nonferrous
metallic mineral resources. These magmatic-hydrothermal deposits are characterized by …

During the subhorizontal (flat) subduction of an ocean–lithosphere plate, the overlying
continental plate is deformed far inland of the plate boundary. In addition, arc magmatism …

Arc volcanism across Iran is dominated by a Paleogene pulse, despite protracted and
presumably continuous subduction along the northern margin of the Neotethyan ocean for …

Continents, especially their Archean cores, are underlain by thick thermal boundary layers
that have been largely isolated from the convecting mantle over billion-year timescales, far …

The Eocene epoch in the Great Basin of western North America was a period of profuse
magmatism and hydrothermal activity. During that period, the Carlin-type gold deposits in …

Carlin-type Au deposits in Nevada have huge Au endowments that have made the state,
and the United States, one of the leading Au producers in the world. Forty years of mining …

Two fundamentally different orogenic systems have existed on Earth throughout the
Phanerozoic. Circum-Pacific accretionary orogens are the external orogenic system formed …

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 …
