The concept of interplay between mantle convection and tectonics goes back to about a
century ago, with the proposal that convection currents in the Earth's mantle drive …

Seismic anisotropy is a key observational tool for mapping flow in Earth's upper mantle.
However, interpreting patterns of anisotropy relies on a firm understanding of the …

Maximum depths of earthquakes in different settings are commonly thought to lie within a
transition, many kilometers in width, from brittle deformation at shallow depths to plastic …

Deformation experiments on single crystals of San Carlos olivine under hydrous conditions
were performed to investigate the microphysical processes responsible for hydrolytic …

We study the mechanical response and correlated microstructure of axial deformed fine-
grained olivine aggregates as a function of incremental finite strains. Deformation …

In the present work, we use a numerical modelling approach based on 2.5-dimensional
dislocation dynamics simulations to investigate the transition between the power and the …

We used electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) methods to study the crystallography of
olivine and other minerals in seven heavily metamorphosed (petrographic type 6 or 6/7) but …

The mechanical heterogeneity of Earth's lithosphere leads to significant amplification of
stresses across spatial scales ranging from mineral grains to tectonic plates. These stress …

The nature of lattice‐preferred orientation (LPO) in olivine‐rich rocks strongly influences
many important physical properties of Earth's upper mantle. Different LPO types have been …

To better understand chondrite accretion and subsequent processes, the textures,
crystallography, deformation, and compositions of some chondrite constituents in ten …
