Vertical movements of the Paris Basin (Triassic-Pleistocene): from 3D stratigraphic database to numerical models
A 3D stratigraphic database has been constructed from the inspection of 1100 wells and
outcrops in the Paris basin. The database contains 88 surfaces correlated at high temporal …

Fate of mantle plume material trapped within a lithospheric catchment with reference to Brazil
NH Sleep - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Local regions of thin lithosphere act as catchments of hot buoyant plume material. Unless
replenished, the trapped plume material cools by convection to the mantle adiabat by …
