Topographic expressions of mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean
C Faccenna, TW Becker - Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
The surface of the Earth is the ever-changing expression of the dynamic processes
occurring at depth and at or above its surface. However, our ability to “read” landscapes in …

Observational estimates of dynamic topography through space and time
M Hoggard, J Austermann, C Randel… - Mantle convection …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Earth's mantle undergoes convection on million‐year timescales as heat is transferred from
depth to the surface. While this flow has long been linked to the large‐scale horizontal forces …

Earth's multi-scale topographic response to global mantle flow
Earth's surface topography is a direct physical expression of our planet's dynamics. Most is
isostatic, controlled by thickness and density variations within the crust and lithosphere, but …

Present-day dynamic topography and lower-mantle structure from palaeogeographically constrained mantle flow models
N Flament - Geophysical Journal International, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Earth's large-scale topography and lower-mantle structure are linked to past tectonic
motions and mantle flow, making it possible to gain insights in the properties of the solid …

On the scales of dynamic topography in whole‐mantle convection models
Mantle convection shapes Earth's surface by generating dynamic topography. Observational
constraints and regional convection models suggest that surface topography could be …

Topographic evolution of the western United States since the early Miocene
The origin of the high topography within the western United States has been attributed to
either crustal/lithospheric isostasy or dynamic topography, but their relative contributions …

Subduction dynamics and mantle pressure: 2. Towards a global understanding of slab dip and upper mantle circulation
We investigate the relationship between the global distribution of deep slab dips (at 250‐to
300‐km depth) and pressure and circulation in the upper mantle. Using an analytic method …

Late Mesozoic multi-plate convergence in East Asia: Insights from 3-D global mantle flow models
Due to the Mesozoic multi-plate convergence, prominent continental marginal tectonic belts
were formed in East Asia. The significant intra-continental magmatic events in the interior of …
