- How the Continents Deform: The Evidence From Tectonic Geodesy* (2009, background): “…rheology are provided by laboratory rock mechanics experiments (e.g., Byerlee 1978, Kohlstedt et al. 1995), postearthquake transient deformation (Bürgmann & Dresen 2008, Thatcher & Pollitz 2008), isostatic rebound (e.g., Bills et al. 2007), and flexure due to large surface loads (e.g., Watts…”
- Impact of megathrust geometry on inversion of coseismic slip from geodetic data: Application to the 1960 Chile earthquake (2009, background): “3 of 5 Coseismic frictional slip in this deep and hot sector of the plate interface is not expected to be triggered by a shallow megathrust earthquake, as continuous viscous flow is expected to dominate [Bürgmann and Dresen, 2008].”
- Glacial isostatic adjustment modelling: historical perspectives, recent advances, and future directions (2018, background): “Inputs to the power-law relationship include grain size, water content, and melt content, as well as temperature, although a lack of direct observational data for most of these parameters mean that values derived in laboratory experiments are often adopted (Hirth and Kohlstedt, 2003; Burgmann and Dr”
- Driving the upper plate surface deformation by slab rollback and mantle flow (2014, background): “Moreover, the mantle return flow following slab rollback and tearing is able to produce tectonically significant (i.e., up to ~100MPa; Bürgmann & Dresen 2008) shear stresses at the base of the lithosphere and crust.”
