Understanding the structure and dynamics of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system

A workshop on the structure and dynamics of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system was organized at the College de France, Paris, from 19-20 November 2013. The primary focus of the workshop was to enhance understanding of the dynamics interaction between the colder, more brittle lithosphere and the warmer, more ductile asthenosphere by combining constraints from observations and… Read More Understanding the structure and dynamics of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system
