Reconstructions of Earth's past surface kinematics are traditionally based on a combination
of relative plate motions inferred mostly from preserved seafloor information and an …

Variations within individual cratons, as well as across different cratons, are readily apparent
at the Earth's surface, providing indirect insight into the processes governing the formation …

The cratonic crust is the most long-lived tectonic unit on Earth. The longevity of Earth's
cratonic crust has been attributed to neutrally buoyant and mechanically strong lithospheric …

The driving force behind the Cenozoic India-Asia collision remains elusive. Using global-
scale geodynamic modeling, we find that the continuous motion of the Indian plate is driven …

Cratonic lithosphere delamination has been frequently suggested in recent studies.
However, the fate of the delaminated Sub-Cratonic Lithospheric Mantle (SCLM) has not …

Abstract The western United States is one of Earth's most tectonically active regions,
characterized by extensive crustal deformation through intraplate earthquakes and geodetic …

Geoid is a key observable for understanding the dynamics of the deep Earth, but has been
considered largely transparent to long‐wavelength shallow density structures, especially …

Continental topography is dominantly controlled by a combination of crustal thickness and
density variations. Nevertheless, it is clear that some additional topographic component is …

Earth's topography arises from the linear superposition of isostatic and dynamic
contributions. The isostatic contribution reflects the distribution of thickness and density of …

Delamination of lower continental lithosphere is known to have occurred under different
tectonic settings. However, its fate in the mantle is poorly understood. By analyzing global …
