Abstract: Thinning of the cratonic lithosphere is common in nature, but its destruction is not. In either case, the mechanisms for both thinning and destruction are still widely under debate. In this study, we have made… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116549
Abstract: Abstract Cratonic lithosphere is believed to have been chemically buoyant and mechanically resistant to destruction over billions of years. Yet the absence of cratonic roots at some Archean terrains casts doubt on the craton stability… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021tc006711
Abstract: Removal and thinning of cratonic lithosphere is believed to have occurred under different tectonic settings, for example, near subduction zones and above mantle plumes. Subductionâinduced cratonic modification has been widely discussed; however, the mechanisms and… read more here.
