Crustal flow in Tibet: geophysical evidence for the physical state of Tibetan lithosphere, and inferred patterns of active flow

SL Klemperer - Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2006 - lyellcollection.org
Many seismic and magnetotelluric experiments within Tibet provide proxies for lithospheric
temperature and lithology, and hence rheology. Most data have been collected between c …

Possible control of subduction zone slow-earthquake periodicity by silica enrichment
