Multiscale variations of the crustal stress field throughout North America
JE Lundstern, MD Zoback - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
The Earth's crustal stress field controls active deformation and reflects the processes driving
plate tectonics. Here we present the first quantitative synthesis of relative principal stress …

Evaluating tomotectonic plate reconstructions using geodynamic models with data assimilation, the case for North America
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 …

Coupled influence of tectonics, climate, and surface processes on landscape evolution in southwestern North America
The Cenozoic landscape evolution in southwestern North America is ascribed to crustal
isostasy, dynamic topography, or lithosphere tectonics, but their relative contributions remain …

Western US intraplate deformation controlled by the complex lithospheric structure
Abstract The western United States is one of Earth's most tectonically active regions,
characterized by extensive crustal deformation through intraplate earthquakes and geodetic …

[HTML][HTML] Geodynamic evolution of southwestern North America since the Late Eocene
A Bahadori, WE Holt - Nature Communications, 2019 - nature.com
Slab rollback, lithospheric body forces, or evolution of plate boundary conditions are strongly
debated as possible lithospheric driving mechanisms for Cenozoic extension in …

Topography and gravity reveal denser cratonic lithospheric mantle than previously thought
The density structure of the cratonic lithospheric mantle (CLM) remains debated. We suggest
that one important reason for which many geodynamic studies favor neutrally buoyant CLM …

A newly discovered Late‐Cretaceous East Asian flat slab explains its unique lithospheric structure and tectonics
The existence of historical flat slabs remains debated. We evaluate past subduction since
200 Ma using global models with data assimilation. By reproducing major Mesozoic slabs …

Geoid reveals the density structure of cratonic lithosphere
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 …

Spatially variable increase in rock uplift in the northern US Cordillera recorded in the distribution of river knickpoints and incision depths
NA Mitchell, BJ Yanites - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Landscape evolution is driven by factors like tectonics and climate, and unraveling such
factors can reveal the history recorded in landscape morphology. The northern US …
