Seismicity and one-dimensional velocity structure of the Himalayan collision zone: Earthquakes in the crust and upper mantle (2006, background): “Jackson [2002], Maggi et al. [2000a] , and Mitra et al. [2005] argue that all the earthquakes beneath the Himalayas and south Tibet are in the crust, which is extremely thick in this part of the world.”
Conditions for the onset of plate tectonics on terrestrial planets and moons (2007, background): “The brittle–ductile transition for planets is calculated from estimates of their elastic lithospheric thickness (Te), the relationship between the two is discussed in Maggi et al. (2000).”
