Abstract: Lherzolite is one of the most important components of the subcontinental mantle lithosphere, and the study of its heat transfer properties aids in understanding the thermal structure of the continental mantle lithosphere. Currently, few studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2017.08.008
Abstract: Abstract We propose a mechanical model of deformation of the entire lithosphere of the Bohemian Massif (BM), whose core is formed by an asymmetric block of the Tepla-Barrandian (TB) unit in between the Saxothuringian (ST)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2017.06.013
Abstract: Abstract Cratons are strong and their preservation demonstrates that they resist deformation and fragmentation. Yet several cratons are rifting now, or have rifted in the past. We suggest that cratons need to be weakened before… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2020.1761893
Abstract: ABSTRACT Major, minor and trace element compositions of mantle xenocrysts from Devonian kimberlite pipes in the Priazovie give an insight into the mantle structure beneath the SE Ukranian Shield and its evolution. Garnets yield low… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/focus122018.1
Abstract: The fraction of radioactive heat production in Earth’s mantle to convective heat loss has decreased with the aging of Earth, as more of its nuclear fuel became spent and more of its heat was lost… read more here.
