During the quadrennial term 1979–1982, major advances have been made in our
knowledge of the rheology of the oceanic lithosphere by the skillful combination of …

This enduringly popular undergraduate textbook has been thoroughly reworked and
updated, and now comprises twelve chapters covering the same breadth of topics as earlier …

Considerations from cosmochemistry and the study of meteorites permit us to place only
very broad bounds on the chemistry of the Earth's interior. These tell us little about the …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

The continental margin off New York consists of a thick sequence of at least 4.8 km of mainly
shallow-water sediments. Such large thicknesses of shallow-water sediments cannot be …

Cross‐spectral techniques have been used to analyze the relationship between gravity and
bathymetry on 14 profiles of the Hawaiian‐Emperor seamount chain. The resulting filter or …

Plots of effective elastic thickness, Te, of the oceanic lithosphere as a function of age when
elastically deformed show a general increase in Te with the square root of age, although …

We have determined depths for 16 oceanic intraplate earthquakes using body wave
modeling. A data set composed of these and 11 other well‐constrained depths shows that …

Observations of flexure indicate that the effective flexural rigidity of oceanic lithosphere is a
function of the age of the lithosphere at the time of loading, and hence temperature. We have …

The principal evidence for the long-term (ie> 1 Myr) mechanical behaviour of the oceanic
lithosphere has come from studies of how it deforms in response to large loads such as …
