On the effect of temperature and strain-rate dependent viscosity on global mantle flow, net rotation, and plate-driving forces (2006, neutral): “The η(T) surface velocities are in fact more plate-like than GSRM. Power-law flow for my simplified rheological law η(T, ˙ ε) reduces the plateness of η(T) models by smoothing the velocity gradients, which are partly induced by the weak-zone geometry. for η(T, ˙ ε) is decreased, even when compared t”
Origin of the lithospheric stress field (2004, background): “In the Indian Ocean, the earthquakes may actually be a reflection of the presence of a diffuse plate boundary zone that accommodates the deformation between the Indian and Capricorn plates [Tinnon et al., 1995; Royer and Gordon, 1997; Kreemer et al., 2003].”
