Understanding Non-Plume Related Intraplate Volcanism
… such as adiabatic decompression triggered by lithospheric delamination, and edge driven convection (EDC), could be responsible for magmatism. This dissertation explores intraplate volcanic locations that do not fit the mantle plume model, and presents geochemical evidence for lithospheric …

The crust and upper mantle structure of eastern Anatolia, Turkey from gravity modeling constrained by seismic data
… asthenospheric flow might have been caused by lithospheric delamination and slab detachment. There are many debates about the thickness of the mantle lithosphere, the effect of the hot asthenospheric material on the crustal structure, and the geodynamic evolution of Eastern Anatolia. To better …

Testing the Utility of S Receiver Function Analysis For Mapping Seismic Discontinuities In the Sierran Lithosphere
… and geophysical evidence suggest that incipient lithospheric delamination of the Cretaceous Sierra Nevada batholith is responsible for the disappearance of its dense residual eclogitic root (Zandt et al., 2004). Lithospheric delamination may be an effective, widely occurring mechanism for both …

Geohistory of the Central Anatolian Plateau southern margin (southern Turkey)
… in the Adana Basin to be related to deep lithospheric processes, particularly lithospheric delamination and slab break-off.

The development of orogenic plateaus : Plateaus: case studies examining relationships between tectonics, crustal strength, surface deformation, and plateau morphology
… versus block deformation, and the possibility of lithospheric delamination. The goal of this thesis is to further explore several of these issues using a combination of numerical modeling, field observations, and thermochronology. I investigate controls on the large-scale evolution of the Tibetan …

Geophysical and Geochemical Constraints On the Geodynamic Origin of the Vrancea Seismogenic Zone Romania
… which was removed as a result of continental lithospheric delamination and is seismically foundering beneath the East Carpathian bend zone. Because large volumes of calc-alkaline volcanism are typically associated with subduction settings existing geochemical analyses from the Calimani, …
