In this study, we integrate bedrock datasets, observations of subducted slabs in the mantle,
and plate kinematic constraints to constrain models for the India-Asia collision and the …

The evolving mosaic of tectonic plates across the surface of the Earth sets boundary
conditions for the evolution of biotic and abiotic processes and helps shape the dynamics of …

Ultralow velocity zones (ULVZs) are the most anomalous structures within the Earth's
interior; however, given the wide range of associated characteristics (thickness and …

Mantle plumes were conceived as thin, vertical conduits in which buoyant, hot rock from the
lowermost mantle rises to Earth's surface, manifesting as hotspot-type volcanism far from …

The simulation of seismic waves is a core task in many geophysical applications. Numerical
methods such as finite difference (FD) modelling and spectral element methods (SEMs) are …

Abstract The Choiyoi Magmatic Province represents a major episode of silicic magmatism in
southwestern Pangea in the mid-Permian-Triassic, the origin of which remains intensely …

Ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) are localized small-scale patches with extreme physical
properties at the core-mantle boundary that often gather at the margins of Large Low …

Plate reconstructions since the breakup of Pangaea are mostly based on the preserved
spreading history of ocean basins, within absolute reference frames that are constrained by …

SPiRaL is a joint global-scale model of wave speeds (P and S) and anisotropy (vertical
transverse isotropy, VTI) variations in the crust and mantle. The model is comprised of> 2.1 …

Although subduction is a critical factor impacting continental deformation, the interactions
between deep dynamic processes and surface tectonic responses remain debated. Based …
