Comparison of azimuthal seismic anisotropy from surface waves and finite strain from global mantle-circulation models (2003, background): “These features are related to subduction where the circum-Pacific downwellings exert strong forces on the overlying plates (cf. Becker & O’Connell 2001b; Steinberger et al. 2001).”
Models of large‐scale viscous flow in the Earth's mantle with constraints from mineral physics and surface observations (2006, background): “…moving freely according to the forces acting on them due to mantle flow, with tractions applied at the base of the plates at depth 100 km (see Steinberger et al. 2001, for a detailed description of the methodology) we obtain a negative variance reduction—also plates are moving too fast…”
Integrated geophysical‐petrological modeling of the lithosphere and sublithospheric upper mantle: Methodology and applications (2008, background): “…in bathymetry of 200– 300 m in the oldest part of the transect [Shahnas and Pysklywec, 2004]); (3) large-scale dynamic topography is minimal [Steinberger et al., 2001]; (4) the average half-spreading rate is small ( 1.7 cm a 1); and (5) lateral variability of geophysical observables in the…”
How the Continents Deform: The Evidence From Tectonic Geodesy* (2009, background): “Models of mantle flow are required to compute the effects of this flow on stress in the lithosphere (Steinberger et al. 2001), but the degree of coupling is uncertain and controversial (Humphreys & Coblentz 2007).”
Origin of the lithospheric stress field (2004, methodology): “[7] Global stress patterns have also been calculated by imposing basal shear tractions either from mantle flow models [Bai et al., 1992; Steinberger et al., 2001; Yoshida et al, 2001] or as independent flow velocities [Bird, 1998].”
