Rock-mechanics experiments, geodetic observations of postloading strain transients, and
micro-and macrostructural studies of exhumed ductile shear zones provide complementary …

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 …

It is well recognized that active arc volcanism at nearly all subduction zones requires
temperatures greater than 1200° C in the subarc mantle, despite the underthrusting cool …

Differences in the viscosity of the earth's upper mantle beneath the western US (∼ 1018–
1019 Pa s) and global average values based on glacial isostatic adjustment and other data …

Two recent large earthquakes in the Mojave Desert, California—the magnitude 7.3 1992
Landers and magnitude 7.1 1999 Hector Mine earthquakes—have each been followed by …

Our observations show that extreme uplift in southeast Alaska began about 1770 AD, with
relative sea level (RSL) change to 5.7 m and current uplift rates to 32 mm/yr. This region …

Currently, in-situ data and the time duration of altimeter data are limitations in calculating the
water level and water volume of lakes and reservoirs from remotely sensed data. A novel …

We measure ground motion around the Lake Mead, Nevada, using synthetic aperture radar
interferometry. The lake water level has fluctuated through time since impoundment in 1935 …

Geodetic data indicate that the M7. 1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake was followed by a
brief period (a few weeks) of rapid deformation preceding a prolonged phase of slower …

The speciation and amount of water dissolved in nominally anhydrous silicates comprising
eight different mantle xenoliths has been quantified using synchrotron micro-FTIR …
