The thermal conductivities of materials are extremely important for many practical
applications, such as in understanding the thermal balance and history of the Earth, energy …

Water plays an important role in most processes within the Earth's mantle, eg transport
phenomena, differentiation and seismic properties. This paper reviews the various aspects …

Recent studies of the focal depths of earthquakes in old continental lithosphere have shown
that they are almost entirely confined to the crust. Except where recent subduction of oceanic …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

We estimate the upper mantle temperature of the Antarctic Plate based on the thermoelastic
properties of mantle minerals and S velocities using a new 3‐D shear velocity model, AN1 …

The lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary corresponds to the base of the rigid plates, the
depth where heat transport changes from advection in the deeper upper mantle to …

Heat provides the energy that drives almost all geological phenomena and sets the
temperature at which these phenomena operate. This book explains the key physical …

We present a new three‐dimensional Sv wave speed and azimuthal anisotropy model for
the upper mantle of eastern Asia constrained by the analysis of more than 17,000 vertical …

Over the last 10 years a series of developments have led to a new understanding of what
controls the variations in lithosphere strength, structure and evolution that produce dramatic …
