How Earthquakes transform the Earth’s lower crust
Published on April 26, 2018
In this study, researchers propose a new mechanism of "top-down" crustal geodynamics, from the upper crust to the lower crust.
Researchers from the IGE, Institute of Earth Sciences of Grenoble / OSUG (Université Grenoble Alpes / CNRS / IRD / IFSTTAR / Université Savoie Mont Blanc), the University of Oslo and the University of Southern California propose a new mechanism for the geodynamics of the Earth’s crust. It links for the first time the changes of the lower crust with the (…)
