Journal ArticleDOI

The elusive lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB) beneath cratons

David W. Eaton, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare interpretations of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) beneath three well studied Archean regions: the Kaapvaal craton, the Slave craton and the Fennoscandian Shield.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geophysical evidence from the MELT area for compositional controls on oceanic plates

Rob L. Evans, +5 more
- 08 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is inferred that the structure of young oceanic plates is instead controlled by a decrease in water content above a depth of 60 km induced by the melting process beneath the spreading centre.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melt-rich channel observed at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary

S. Naif, +3 more
- 21 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: The LAB beneath young plates consists of a thin, partially molten, channel of low viscosity that acts to decouple the overlying brittle lithosphere from the deeper convecting mantle, and its proximity to the trench may have implications for subduction dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mantle dynamics beneath the East Pacific Rise at 17°S : insights from the Mantle Electromagnetic and Tomography (MELT) experiment

Kiyoshi Baba, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors inverted the MELT data for a two-dimensional transversely anisotropic conductivity structure that incorporates a correction for three-dimensional topographic effects on the magnetotelluric responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The electrical structure of the Slave craton

Alan G. Jones, +7 more
- 01 Dec 2003 - 
TL;DR: The Central Slave Mantle Conductor (CSMC) anomaly is modelled as a localized region of low resistivity (10−15 V m) beginning at depths of f80−120 km and striking NE−SW as mentioned in this paper.
