To elucidate the dynamics of extrusion tectonics, I investigate the relation between
subduction processes and intraplate deformation. Three‐dimensional numerical models of …

The concept of mantle plumes, originally suggested by Morgan (1971), is widely but not
unequivocally accepted as the cause for hotspot volcanism. Plumes are thought of as deep …

We report measurements of radial and azimuthal anisotropy in the upper mantle beneath
southern and central Finland, which we obtained by array analysis of fundamental-mode …

Little has been seismically imaged through the lithosphere and mantle at rifted margins
across the continent‐ocean transition. A 2014–2015 community seismic experiment …

Plate formation and evolution processes are predicted to generate upper mantle seismic
anisotropy and negative vertical velocity gradients in oceanic lithosphere. However …

Physical models of subduction investigate the impact of regional mantle flow on the structure
of the subducted slab and deformation of the downgoing and overriding plates. The initial …

Over the past few decades, azimuthal seismic anisotropy measurements have been widely
used proxy to study past and present‐day deformation of the lithosphere and to characterize …

Geodetic velocities and mantle seismic anisotropy provide relevant constraints to the
dynamics of the Asian continent. Here, these are compared to numerical models of …

The force balance that drives and maintains continental rifting to breakup is poorly
understood. The East African Rift (EAR) provides an ideal natural laboratory to elucidate the …

The direction of plate tectonic motion and the direction of mantle flow, as inferred from
observations of seismic anisotropy measurements, show a good global correlation far from …
