This project focuses on understanding the properties and processes that define tectonic plates, particularly the transition from rigid plates to the underlying mantle. It employs advanced imaging techniques to study the oceanic lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary beneath the Atlantic Ocean.
Plate tectonics has been a fundamental tenet of Earth Science for nearly 50 years, but fundamental questions remain, such as where is the base of the plate and what makes a plate, “plate-like?” A better understanding of the transition from
the rigid lithospheric plate to the weaker mantle beneath – the rheological lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) - has important implications for the driving forces of plate tectonics, natural hazard mitigation, mantle dynamics, the
evolution of the planet…
