Underplating was originally proposed as the process of magma ponding at the base of the
crust and was inferred from petrologic considerations. This process not only may add high …

Extremely voluminous magmatic systems known as large igneous provinces (LIPs)
punctuate Earth's history, and the gases they release plausibly link large-scale geodynamic …

Accurate spatial models of tectonic plates and geological terranes are important for
analyzing and interpreting a wide variety of geoscientific data and developing compositional …

We present a new model of the crustal and tectonic structure of the Arctic region north of 60°
N latitude, constrained as a part of the international Atlas of Geological Maps of the …

Asia is key to a richer understanding of many important lithospheric processes such as
crustal growth, continental evolution and orogenesis. But to properly decipher the secrets …

We present a new digital crustal model for Moho depth and crustal structure in Europe,
Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, European Arctic shelf, and the North Atlantic Ocean (72W …

Granitic rocks play special role in the dynamics and evolution of the Earth and its thermal
regime. First, their compositional variability, reflected in the distribution of concentrations of …

Abstract Earth Crustal Model 1 (ECM1) is a 1° x 1° global crustal model that describes the
thickness of the crust, including the overlying sediments, and the corresponding seismic …

How deep mantle processes affected plate interactions and the dynamics of deformation on
both sides of the Paleo-Pacific has been a first order scientific challenge. The ubiquitous …

Results are presented of a seismic wide-angle reflection/refraction survey along a profile
between the Pannonian Basin (PB) and the East European Craton (EEC) called PANCAKE …
