Thermal structure of the lithosphere exerts a primary control on its strength and density and
thereby its dynamic evolution as the outer thermal and mechanic boundary layer of the …

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 …

The Songliao Basin is a key geothermal resource area for medium and low temperature
geothermal energy in China. Using the latest seismic imaging data, combined with the …

Sedimentary rocks cover∼ 73% of the Earth's surface and metamorphic rocks account for
approximately 91% of the crust by volume. Understanding the average behavior and …

Whether Venus was ever habitable is a key question driving missions to Earth's sister planet
in the next decade. Venus today has a dry, O2-poor atmosphere, but recent work has …

Collation and dissemination of geochemical data are critical to promote rapid, creative, and
accurate research and place new results in an appropriate global context. To this end, we …

This paper, based on a novel hybrid techno-economic model for geothermal power plants
with endogenized plant lifetime, investigates the economic feasibility of a sustainable …

The depth to the Curie isotherm provides a snapshot into the deep thermal conditions of the
crust, which helps constrain models of thermally controlled physical properties and …

The thermal structure of East Asian continental lithosphere is critical for understanding its
diffuse and variable intracontinental deformation in the Cenozoic. Here, we present a three …

Abstract The Basement Complex rocks of Akungba-Akoko, southwestern Nigeria, typically
migmatites (M), biotite gneisses (BGN), granite gneisses (GGN), charnockites (Ch), biotite …
