Tectonic evolution of the Sevier and Laramide belts within the North American Cordillera orogenic system
The thin-skin Sevier and thick-skin Laramide belts of the North American Cordillera provide
a long-term record of the interrelations between evolving styles of mountain building and …

Mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean offers a unique opportunity to study the driving forces of tectonic
deformation within a complex mobile belt. Lithospheric dynamics are affected by slab …

Global mantle structure from multifrequency tomography using P, PP and P-diffracted waves
In global-scale seismic tomography, teleseismic P and PP waves mainly constrain structures
in the upper two thirds of the mantle, whereas core-diffracted waves (Pdiff) constrain the …

Continental-root control on the genesis of magmatic ore deposits
Giant magma-related ore systems are prime targets for modern mineral exploration, yet it is
unclear what controls their formation. The magmas originate in Earth's convecting mantle. To …

Deep electrical resistivity structure of the northwestern US derived from 3-D inversion of USArray magnetotelluric data
Abstract Long period (10–20,000 s) magnetotelluric (MT) data are being acquired across the
continental USA on a quasi-regular grid of∼ 70 km spacing as an electromagnetic …

Continuing Colorado plateau uplift by delamination-style convective lithospheric downwelling
The Colorado plateau is a large, tectonically intact, physiographic province in the
southwestern North American Cordillera that stands at∼ 1,800–2,000 m elevation and has …

Fluid transport and storage in the Cascadia forearc influenced by overriding plate lithology
Subduction of hydrated oceanic lithosphere can carry water deep into the Earth, with
consequences for a range of tectonic and magmatic processes. Most of the fluid is released …
