On the Viscoelastic Deformation of the Earth
(2019-04-06)Post-seismic deformation and glacial isostatic adjustment are two processes by which the Earth deforms viscoelastically. In both cases, the details of the deformation depend on the rheological structure of the Earth as ... -
Geochemical Implications of Stirring and Mixing in the Earth's Mantle
Measurements of radiogenic isotopes can in principle constrain the melting, melt migration, and solid state convection that occurs in the Earth's mantle, but to do so requires suitable quantitative models. A new statistical ... -
Time-lapse Acoustic Imaging of Oceanic Fronts and Eddies
(2019-01-26)Seismic reflection surveying is used to generate acoustic images of the water column. This technique employs conventional multi-channel equipment which is used to image the solid Earth. In the water column, acoustic impedance ... -
A combined experimental and computational study of nanopaleomagnetic recorders in meteoritic metal
(2019-01-26)A nanoscale intergrowth of fine tetrataenite particles in an iron rich matrix, known as the `cloudy zone' has recently been recognised as a stable paleomagnetic recorder. It is found in meteorites containing iron-nickel ...
