Interactions between a flat slab and overriding plate: Controlling factors of subduction dynamics and continental deformation
DownloadFall 2022
Subduction zones are active plate margins that have an important role in mantle and lithosphere processes. Subduction is driven by the negative buoyancy of the downgoing oceanic plate, resulting in a steep descent angle at most subduction zones. However, in approximately 10% of modern subduction...

Internal gravity waves transport energy and momentum in both the atmosphere and the ocean. This physical process occurs at such small length scales that it is not captured by coarse resolution numerical models of weather and climate. A series of experiments is presented that model the generation...

Gravitational removal of the dense lower lithosphere is proposed to be a fundamental process in continental tectonics. This has been used to explain seismological observations of an abnormally thin lithosphere beneath some regions and evidence for detached lithospheric materials at 100-200 km...

Intrafractional tumour tracking is of considerable interest as a means to minimize the PTV in treating mobile tumours. By utilizing the intrafractional MR imaging feature of linac-MR, this thesis seeks to develop a direct, non-surrogate based intrafractional tumour tracking system, and physically...
