A review of the global climate change impacts, adaptation, and sustainable mitigation measures
Climate change is a long-lasting change in the weather arrays across tropics to polls. It is a
global threat that has embarked on to put stress on various sectors. This study is aimed to …

Antarctic geothermal heat flow and its implications for tectonics and ice sheets
Geothermal heat flow (GHF) is an elusive physical property, yet it can reveal past and
present plate tectonic processes. In Antarctica, GHF has further consequences in predicting …

[HTML][HTML] Global distribution of geothermal gradients in sedimentary basins
F Kolawole, JC Evenick - Geoscience Frontiers, 2023 - Elsevier
The heat budget of sedimentary basins is determined by heat transfer across the lithosphere-
asthenosphere boundary and lithospheric heat sources, such that the tectonic evolution of …

Defining continental lithosphere as a layer with abundant frozen‐in structures that scatter seismic waves
We investigate the structure of the continental lithosphere by combining two approaches: a
systematic survey of abrupt changes in seismic properties detected by P‐to‐S converted …

The weight of cities: Urbanization effects on Earth's subsurface
T Parsons - AGU Advances, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Across the world, people increasingly choose to live in cities. By 2050, 70% of Earth's
population will live in large urban areas. Upon considering a large city, questions arise such …

The thermal regime of NW Canada and Alaska, and tectonic and seismicity consequences
RD Hyndman - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
NW Canada and Alaska are the continuation of the North American Cordillera through
Mexico, western USA and western Canada. I show that they have similar thermal regimes …

Greenland geothermal heat flow database and map (version 1)
We compile, analyse and map all available geothermal heat flow measurements collected in
and around Greenland into a new database of 419 sites and generate an accompanying …

Grain-size-evolution controls on lithospheric weakening during continental rifting
Variation in the effective strength of the lithosphere allows for active plate tectonics and is
permitted by different deformation mechanisms operating in the crust and upper mantle. The …

Crustal melting in orogenic belts revealed by eclogite thermal properties
B Zhang, H Fei, J Ge, L Zeng, Q Xia - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
Partial melting in the continental crust may play a critical role on the behavior of continents
during collision. However, the occurrence of partial melt in orogenic continental crust is not …

Lithosphere mantle density of the North China Craton
We constrain the lithospheric mantle density of the North China Craton (NCC) at both in situ
and standard temperature‐pressure (STP) conditions from gravity data. The lithosphere …
