This work examines the global distribution of Archaean and modern igneous rock's
compositions, without relying on preconceptions about the link between rock compositions …

Ubiquitous heterogeneity in the Earth's mantle has been documented by numerous
chemical and isotopic analyses of oceanic basalts. Despite the ever-increasing amount of …

This paper presents a new model of the shear velocity structure of the crust and uppermost
mantle beneath the contiguous US The model is based on more than a decade of USArray …

The AlpArray programme is a multinational, European consortium to advance our
understanding of orogenesis and its relationship to mantle dynamics, plate reorganizations …

This article reviews the geology of the Sveconorwegian orogen in south Scandinavia and
existing tectonic models for the Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic Sveconorwegian …

Oceanic arcs are commonly cited as primary building blocks of continents, yet modern
oceanic arcs are mostly subducted. Also, lithosphere buoyancy considerations show that …

A non-linear Bayesian Monte-Carlo method is presented to estimate a Vsv model beneath
stations by jointly interpreting Rayleigh wave dispersion and receiver functions and …

The longevity of cratons is generally attributed to persistence of neutrally-to-positively
buoyant and mechanically strong lithosphere that shields the cratonic crust from underlying …

Rayleigh wave phase velocity maps from ambient noise and earthquake data are inverted
jointly with receiver functions observed at 828 stations from the USArray Transportable Array …

Lithosphere delamination is believed to have played a major role in mountain building;
however, the mechanism and dynamics of delamination remain poorly understood. Using a …
