Mechanical properties of lithosphere are of primary importance for interpretation of
deformation at all spatial and time scales, from local scale to large-scale geodynamics and …

Observations in sedimentary basins affected by deformation show that the fault-induced
depositional accommodation, at various spatial and temporal scales, is closely linked to …

This unique book presents an overview of isostasy, a phenomenon of fundamental
importance to the earth sciences. Isostasy is a simple concept, yet it has long perplexed …

It is well accepted that the lithosphere may exhibit nonzero mechanical strength over
geological time and space scales, associated with the existence of non‐lithostatic …

We present geological and morphological observations at different scales to constrain rates
of faulting and the distribution of deformation in the seismically active Aegean region. We …

Plate flexure is a phenomenon that describes how the lithosphere responds to long-term (>
105 yr) geological loads. By comparing the flexure in the vicinity of ice, volcano, and …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

In nature, mountains can grow and remain as localized tectonic features over long periods of
time (> 10 my). By contrast, according to current knowledge of lithospheric rheology and …

We have investigated the Coulomb stress interactions of 29 earthquakes (Ms≥ 6.0) that
have occurred in the region of northwest Turkey and north Aegean Sea since 1912. Of these …

The EET (equivalent elastic thickness) of the lithosphere is a measure of the integrated
lithospheric strength. It is directly related to the mechanical thickness and rheology of the …
