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 …

The effective elastic thickness (T e) is a geometric measure of the flexural rigidity of the
lithosphere, which describes the resistance to bending under the application of applied …

Plate flexure is a phenomenon that describes how the lithosphere responds to long-term (>
105 yr) geological loads. By comparing the flexure in the vicinity of ice, volcano, and …

This book is a systematic guide to the recognition and interpretation of deformation
microstructures and mechanisms in minerals and rocks at the scale of a thin section …

The National Seismological Network of Nepal consists of 17 short period seismic stations
operated since 1994. It provides an exceptional view of the microseismic activity over nearly …

We document a crustal‐scale structural model for the central Chile Andes based on
seismicity and surface geology, which consists in a major east verging ramp‐detachment …

We used a wavelet formulation of the classical spectral isostatic analysis to invert satellite-
derived gravity and topography/bathymetry for elastic thickness (Te) over South America and …

Using a fully coupled numerical thermomechanical model handling strain localization,
surface processes and ultra-high viscosity contrasts (11 orders of magnitude) we test a …

Convergent plate boundaries are characterized by the development of crustal orogenic
wedges and orogenic plateaus but also by gravitational collapse of previously thickened …

We use a fully coupled asymmetric dynamic finite element model to study interactions
between thermomechanical behavior and surface processes during continental rift …
