Understanding the interactions between surface and deep Earth processes is important for
research in many diverse scientific areas including climate, environment, energy …

The lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary and mid‐lithospheric discontinuities are primary
attributes of the upper mantle. The Pannonian region is an extensional sedimentary basin …

The existence of a thin, weak asthenospheric layer beneath Earth's lithospheric plates is
consistent with existing geological and geophysical constraints, including Pleistocene glacio …

The long‐wavelength gravity and topography of Venus are dominated by mantle convective
flows, and are hence sensitive to the planet's viscosity structure and mantle density …

Mid‐lithosphere discontinuities are seismic interfaces likely located within the lithospheric
mantle of stable cratons, which typically represent velocities decreasing with depth. The …

Inconsistencies between observations from long and short period seismic waves and
geochemical data mean craton formation and evolution remains enigmatic. Specifically …

Partial melts in the Earth's convecting mantle influence its physical and chemical state,
particularly the plasticity of the asthenosphere and the dynamics of plate tectonics. Melt …

The stretching of the lithosphere leading to back-arc basins formation generally develops
behind arc-trench systems and is considered the consequence of slab retreat relative to the …

A typical subduction of an oceanic plate beneath a continent is expected to be accompanied
by arc volcanoes along the convergent margin. However, subduction of the Cocos plate at …

Objectively exploring global variations in crust and upper mantle structure helps constrain
fundamental aspects of Earth's plate tectonic and convective processes. Here we adopted a …
