Upper Mantle Density Heterogeneity in the European‐Anatolian Tethys Belt

We present a new model for the density structure of the lithosphere mantle (LM) in the region that extends from the Atlantic coast of Eurasia to the Ural mountains and from northern Africa and Arabia to the Arctic shelf (Artemieva and Shulgin, 2019; Shulgin and Artemieva, 2019). For the European con...

Description
Summary:We present a new model for the density structure of the lithosphere mantle (LM) in the region that extends from the Atlantic coast of Eurasia to the Ural mountains and from northern Africa and Arabia to the Arctic shelf (Artemieva and Shulgin, 2019; Shulgin and Artemieva, 2019). For the European continent, the North Atlantic region, and the Arctic shelf, we perform gravity modeling, using 3D tesseroids. The input parameters are constrained by a regional seismic crustal model EUNAseis (Artemieva and Thybo, 2013) and a global continental thermal model TC1 (Artemieva, 2006, 2019).
