Global adjoint tomography—model GLAD-M25 (2020, methodology): “…200–400 km depth range, we observe a low wavespeed anomaly beneath the Arctic and high shear-wavespeed anomaly within the Gulf of Mexico, which coincides spatially with the deepest bathymetry and corresponds to a portion of ancient oceanic lithosphere (M¨uller et al. 2008; Schaeﬀer & Lebedev 2014).”
Resolution of direction of oceanic magnetic lineations by the sixth‐generation lithospheric magnetic field model from CHAMP satellite magnetic measurements (2008, methodology): “In producing the NGDC World Magnetic Anomaly Map [ Maus et al., 2007b ], we merged all of the near-surface data.”
Global dynamic topography observations reveal limited influence of large-scale mantle flow (2016, background): “This constraint leads to a system of linear equations that can be written as (ACA+ λ1R+ λ2I)m = A T C −1 d (17)”
The Magnetic Field of the Earth’s Lithosphere (2010, methodology): “In addition, new data processing involving prior information based on an oceanic crustal age model (Müller et al. 2008) has been recently tested and proved to be efficient at interpolating the data between sparse tracklines in the oceans in most parts of the world (Maus et al.”
Analysis and Mapping of an Updated Terrestrial Heat Flow Data Set (2019, methodology): “In this study, the age of oceanic seafloor is derived from Müller et al. (2008) unless it was mentioned in the original publications and the surface geology results from a compilation of USGS (2000) and UNESCO CCGM/CGMW (2000) shapefiles (Figure 1a).”
EMAG2: A 2–arc min resolution Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid compiled from satellite, airborne, and marine magnetic measurements (2009, background): “In the world’s oceans, anomalies trending parallel to the isochrons (lines of equal age) reveal the temporal evolution of oceanic crust [ Mu¨ller et al. , 2008].”
Building the second version of the World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM) (2016, methodology): “The size of the sliding windows depends on the spreading rate: for halfspreading rates (as given by Müller et al. 2008) slower than 25 km/Ma, 100-km-wide windows are sufficient to observe variations (i.e. several reversals) within each window; for half-rates faster than 50 km/Ma, 400-kmwide windows…”
Complex subduction and small-scale convection revealed by body-wave tomography of the western United States upper mantle (2010, background): “Plate–tectonic reconstructions have young, 5–30 Ma, lithosphere subducting beneath the Pacific Northwest at this time (Madsen et al., 2006;Muller et al., 2008), hence initial slab buoyancy would have been nearly neutral.”
