Nanoparticle-enhanced coolants (NPECs) are increasingly used in minimum quantity
lubrication (MQL) machining as a green lubricant to replace conventional cutting fluids to …

Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of
subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained …

The asthenosphere plays a fundamental role in present-day plate tectonics as its low
viscosity controls how convection in the mantle below it is expressed at the Earth's surface …

We use normal-mode splitting functions in addition to surface wave phase anomalies, body
wave traveltimes and long-period waveforms to construct a 3-D model of anisotropic shear …

To better constrain the temperature structure in the upper mantle, we jointly invert seismic
surface wave velocities and basalt thermobarometry. New measurements of the water …

The boundary between the lithosphere and asthenosphere is associated with a platewide
high–seismic velocity “lid” overlying lowered velocities, consistent with thermal models …

Abstract The Central African Plateau (CAP) covers a million square kilometers of African
lithosphere absent of recent volcanism and intense seismicity. Treating the CAP erosion …

Continental breakup is caused by some combination of heating and stretching,. The Afar Rift
system in Africa is an example of active continental rifting, where a mantle plume probably …

Broadband seismic data from the United States were processed into P s and S p receiver
function image volumes for the purpose of constraining negative velocity gradients (NVG) at …

Lithospheric seismic anisotropy illuminates mid‐ocean ridge dynamics and the thermal
evolution of oceanic plates. We utilize short‐period (5–7.5 s) ambient‐noise surface waves …
