[图书][B] Offshore geotechnical engineering
M Randolph, S Gourvenec - 2017 - taylorfrancis.com
Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but
the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by …

Stagnant-lid tectonics in early Earth revealed by 142Nd variations in late Archean rocks
A major change in Earth's geodynamics occurred~ 3billionyears (Ga) ago, likely related to
the onset of modern and continuous plate tectonics. However, the question of how Earth …

Photoferrotrophic bacteria initiated plate tectonics in the Neoarchean
Plate tectonics distinguishes Earth from the other terrestrial planets but its initiation
mechanism and onset time are debated. We propose plate tectonics was initiated by the …

Extension rates, crustal melting, and core complex dynamics
Two-dimensional thermomechanical experiments reveal that the crystallization versus
exhumation histories of migmatite cores in metamorphic core complexes give insights into …

SLIM3D: A tool for three-dimensional thermomechanical modeling of lithospheric deformation with elasto-visco-plastic rheology
AA Popov, SV Sobolev - Physics of the earth and planetary interiors, 2008 - Elsevier
We describe a new technique for three-dimensional lithospheric-scale modeling of solid
state deformation including strain localization processes. The new code, SLIM3D, includes a …

Spreading continents kick-started plate tectonics
Stresses acting on cold, thick and negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere are thought to be
crucial to the initiation of subduction and the operation of plate tectonics,, which …

Origin of Archean subcontinental lithospheric mantle: Some petrological constraints
The longevity of the continental lithosphere mantle is explained by its unusual composition.
This part of the mantle is made up mainly of forsterite-rich olivine (Fo92–94), with or without …

The role of partial melting and extensional strain rates in the development of metamorphic core complexes
Orogenic collapse involves extension and thinning of thick and hot (partially molten) crust,
leading to the formation of metamorphic core complexes (MCC) that are commonly cored by …
