Virtually all subduction zones eventually interact with a spreading ridge, and this interaction
leads to a great diversity of tectonic processes in the vicinity of the triple junction. In the …

The thermal structure of the lithosphere controls many properties and processes of Earth's
crust. The total∼ 47-TW heat loss of Earth is key to understanding and modeling this thermal …

Seismic data provide images of crust–mantle interactions during ongoing removal of the
dense batholithic root beneath the southern Sierra Nevada mountains in California. The …

Precipitation drives seasonal velocity changes in slow-moving landslides by increasing pore-
water pressure and reducing the effective normal stress along basal shear zones. This …

Abstract We introduce Global Positioning System (GPS) Imaging, a new technique for robust
estimation of the vertical velocity field of the Earth's surface, and apply it to the Sierra …

Establishing landscape response to uplift is critical for interpreting sediment fluxes, hazard
potential, and topographic evolution. We assess how landslides shape terrain in response to …

In mountainous landscapes with weak, fine-grained rocks, earthflows can dominate erosion
and landscape evolution by supplying sediment to channels and controlling hillslope …

The circular pattern of anisotropic fast-axis orientations of split SKS arrivals observed in the
western US cannot be attributed reasonably to either preexisting lithospheric fabric or to …

▪ Abstract The migration of the Mendocino triple junction through central and northern
California over the past 25–30 million years has led to a profound change in plate …

The Patagonian slab window has been proposed to enhance the solid Earth response to ice
mass load changes in the overlying Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields (NPI and …
