The crustal structure and subsidence history of aseismic ridges and mid-plate island chains
… chains can also be explained entirely by lithospheric cooling. Aseismic ridges form near ridge crests and subside at nearly the same rate as normal oceanic crust Mid-plate island chains subside at slower rates because they are built on older crust. However, some island chains have subsided …

Surface Wave Propagation and Global Crustal Tomography
… ocean-continent dichotomy and the signature of lithospheric cooling in oceanic plates. There are significant differences between the phase velocity model and calculations based on a current global model CRUST2.0+S20RTS in oceanic regions, Archean and Proterozoic cratons as well as orogenic …

Application of Seasat altimetry to tectonic studies of fracture zones in the Southern oceans
… zones and used to constrain thermal models of lithospheric cooling. Observed trends in the geoid slope versus age plots are similar on both branches of the Eltanin and the east limb of the Udintsev fracture zone. The similarity in trends argues against the effects of isolated thermal or …

The Significance of Densely Sampled Observations of Mantle Dynamic Topography
… deviate by $\pm$1~km from the predicted plate cooling trend. Positive and negative anomalies correlate with independent geological and geophysical observations of uplift and subsidence. This oceanic dataset is combined with a continental dataset to generate globally continuous spherical …
