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 ...
Mercury's record of large impact basins and spin evolution models suggest that its present-day 3:2 spin-orbit resonance may not be primordial. It could have been established up to hundreds of millions of years after planet ...
Jupiter's icy moon Europa has a liquid water ocean beneath the ice shell and a geologically young surface, both related to extensive tidal processes. Interlaced by tectonic faults, the surface records convergent motions ...
Analyses of abundant small earthquakes have the potential to map the Earth's small-scale stress and frictional properties. However, standard seismological characterizations lack the resolution to capture the physical ...
Earthquakes in the Hellenic slab, traced by tomography down to 1,200 km, occur at depths <200 km with enigmatic origin and dynamics. We study a 2014 Mw5.8 left-lateral strike-slip earthquake originating at a depth of ...
