  • Convective Self-Compression of Cratons and the Stabilization of Old Lithosphere 
    Paul, Jyotirmoy; Conrad, Clinton Phillips; Becker, Thorsten W.; Ghosh, Attreyee (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    Abstract Despite being exposed to convective stresses for much of the Earth's history, cratonic roots appear capable of resisting mantle shearing. This tectonic stability can be attributed to the neutral density and higher ...
  • Traction and strain-rate at the base of the lithosphere: An insight into cratonic survival 
    Paul, Jyotirmoy; Ghosh, Attreyee; Conrad, Clinton Phillips (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    Cratons are the oldest parts of the lithosphere, some of them surviving since Archean. Their long-term survival has sometimes been attributed to high viscosity and low density. In our study, we use a numerical model to ...
