Dynamic processes at submarine plate boundaries
… yet powerful framework to describe the motion of lithospheric plates and the deformation that takes place at their boundaries. Although plate boundaries represent a small fraction of the earth’s surface, the localisation of stresses, resulting from the relative motion of adjacent plates, renders …

Seismic Velocity and Radial Anisotropy in the Crust and Upper Mantle of the South Central United States from Surface Wave Tomography
… South-Central U.S. so as to better understand lithospheric evolution and modification through the last Wilson cycle. Rayleigh and Love wave phase velocities at the periods of 6-167 s were obtained from ambient noise and earthquake data recorded at 207 broadband stations of the USArray …

The rheology and dynamics of the Precambrian lithosphere – insights from the British Isles
… to investigate the properties, behaviour, and evolution of the Precambrian lithosphere. In Chapter One, I summarise some of the key open questions regarding lithospheric evolution and the development of strength contrasts, and how they will be addressed in this thesis. Chapter Two investigates …

Modelling surface evolution coupled with tectonics
… presents the development of 1D and 2D Surface Evolution Codes (SECs) and their coupling to any lithospheric-scale (thermo-)mechanical code with a quadrilateral structured surface mesh. Both SECs involve diffusion as approach for hillslope processes and the stream power law to reflect riverbed …
