TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical formulation for mantle convection is proposed to deal with the viscoelastic-plastic rheology of the cool parts of the lithosphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of laboratory experiments are used to investigate the behavior of sheared thermal plumes, where plumes are generated by heating a small circular plate on the base of a cylindrical tank filled with viscous fluid and then sheared by rotating a horizontal lid at the fluid surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physiological responses of cork oak (Quercus suber L.) to manipulated water inputs were investigated in a Mediterranean woodland in southern Portugal, and the results indicated that in a semi-arid environment precipitation changes in spring (amount and timing) have a stronger impact on cork Oak physiology and growth than an overall change in the total annual precipitation.

TL;DR: The authors performed a quantitative comparison of brittle thrust wedge experiments to evaluate the variability among analogue models and to appraise the reproducibility and limits of model interpretation, showing that even for simple plane-strain experiments with prescribed stringent model construction techniques, quantitative model results show variability, most notably for surface slope, thrust spacing and number of forward and backthrusts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present numerical calculations based on a novel boundary-integral formulation, which examines the simultaneous effects of regional stresses, magma pressure, and dike injection on the local stress state around a continuously curving dike.
