This graphic shows the thickness (in kilometers) of the North American lithosphere. The blue area is about 250 km thick and, based on new findings reported in Nature, is composed of a 3-billion ...

This thesis investigates the effects of heterogeneities that introduce compositional, thermal, and thickness contrasts ... of lithospheric layers and the rate of deformation (strain rate) applied. In ...

If the icy layer was ... of the ice shell thickness is consistent with the previous work based on the observation, but we further constrain the ice structure, comprising the lithosphere and ...
