We investigate the tidal dissipation in Io's hypothetical fluid magma ocean using a new approach based on the solution of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. Our results indicate that the presence of a shallow magma ocean on ...
We present the first 3-D upper-mantle conductivity models obtained by an inversion of the satellite-derived tidally induced magnetic fields (TIMFs). We primarily use the M$_2$ period, but the potential benefit of the O$_1$ ...
Plate tectonics is primarily driven by the constant gravitational pull of slabs where oceanic lithosphere sinks into the mantle at subduction zones. Under stable plate boundary configurations, changes in plate motion are ...

Satellite magnetic field observations have the potential to provide valuable information on dynamics, heat content and salinity throughout the ocean. Here, we present the expected spatio-temporal characteristics of the ...
We investigate how the radial profile 𝜎𝑚(𝑟 ) of the lower mantle electrical conductivity affectsthe downward continuation of the time-varying magnetic field to the core surface and the resulting invertedcore motions. ...
Deep-focus earthquakes and their association with metastable olivine wedges (MOWs) remain enigmatic. Here we perform a seismic-geodynamic analysis of the Pacific slab stagnant at the 660 km deep bottom of the mantle ...
Tidal interactions play a key role in the dynamics and evolution of icy worlds. The intense tectonic activity of Europa and the eruption activity on Enceladus are clear examples of the manifestation of tidal deformation ...
A new model of the Rotaphone-D short-period seismic sensor with six degrees of free-dom is introduced. The basis of the instrument is horizontal and vertical geophones in aspecial paired arrangement. The instrument is ...
Ocean tide loading (OTL) refers to the Earth's deformational response to periodic ocean mass redistributions driven by astronomical tides. This transient deformation likely involves anelasticity, which is associated with ...
In 31 January 2021, an Mw 5.6 earthquake occurred in the Guyana shield, causing damage to adobe houses and ground cracks. A four-station network, installed in March, showed a shallow (1-3 km) southeast-northwest-oriented ...
