Lithosphere mapping beneath the North American plate

WL Griffin, SY O'Reilly, BJ Doyle, NJ Pearson… - Lithos, 2004 - Elsevier
Major-and trace-element analyses of garnets from heavy-mineral concentrates have been
used to derive the compositional and thermal structure of the subcontinental lithospheric …

Variations in elastic thickness in the Canadian Shield

P Audet, JC Mareschal - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2004 - Elsevier
We have compared different spectral methods (the standard windowed Fourier transform,
the multitaper method (MTM), and the maximum entropy method (MEM)) to determine the …

The effects of buoyant crust on the gravitational instability of thickened mantle lithosphere at zones of intracontinental convergence

P Molnar, GA Houseman - Geophysical Journal International, 2004 - academic.oup.com
Using both numerical experiments and approximate linear theory, we examine the stability
of a 2-D, three-layered viscous system that represents crust over mantle lithosphere …

The lithospheric mantle of the Archean Superior Province as imaged by garnet xenocryst geochemistry

KR Scully, D Canil, DJ Schulze - Chemical Geology, 2004 - Elsevier
The major and trace element chemistry of over 500 garnet xenocrysts from 12 kimberlite and
alkaline rock bodies are used to examine the mantle lithosphere below the Archean …

Marginal stability of thick continental lithosphere

E Cottrell, C Jaupart, P Molnar - Geophysical research letters, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Laboratory and numerical experiments show that when a chemically different layer overlies
a hotter but otherwise denser layer, analogous to continental mantle lithosphere over …
