Journal ArticleDOI
Compositional dependence of lower crustal viscosity
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gibbs free-energy minimization routine Perple_X is used to calculate mineral assemblages for different crustal compositions under pressure and temperature conditions appropriate for the lower continental crust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferring crustal viscosity from seismic velocity: Application to the lower crust of Southern California
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the role of composition on the viscosity of the lower crust through a joint inversion of seismic P-wave (V p ) and S-wave(V s ) velocities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and composition of the Late Cretaceous Gangdese arc lower crust in southern Tibet
TL;DR: In this paper, a geochronological and geochemical study on the Lilong Complex and the Wolong granitoids from the Gangdese arc deep crustal section in southern Tibet is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gore Mountain Garnet Amphibolite Records UHT Conditions: Implications for the Rheology of the Lower Continental Crust during Orogenesis
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed petrographic study of the Gore Mountain Garnet Amphibolite (GMGA) is presented, showing that these rocks formed via a prograde hydration reaction of a metagabbro during an increase in pressure and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted one of the longest continuous geophysical surveys along a 74-Myr 15 spreading-parallel flow line across the Mid-Atlantic Ridge across the United States.
