This project investigates how the Earth's oldest rock formations, known as cratons, maintain their thickness over billions of years despite external forces. It focuses on a self-compressive mechanism that promotes craton stability and re-thickening through numerical modeling of mantle dynamics.
Cratons, the oldest lithosphere on Earth, have survived for more than 3 billion years due to their neutral buoyancy, high viscosity, and thickness.
The geologic record shows that, in the presence of external agents (e.g., mantle plume eruptions), most cratons have experienced partial destruction (e.g., Slave craton).
Yet, cratons have retained their 200-300 km thickness more or less to the present-day.
We hypothesize that a newly-identified self-compressive mechanism causes them to slowly but co…
