Isogeometric analysis of the lithosphere under topographic loading: Igalith v1.0.0 by R. Rosandi, Y. Rosandi, B. Simeon

“…We also perform parameter identification for the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere, the rock density, and the topographic load that are most plausible to explain the measured depths. An example of simulating the entire lithosphere of the Earth as a spherical shell using multi-patch isogeometric analysis is presented, providing an alternative to spherical harmonics for solving partial differential equations on a spherical domain. …”

EVALUATION OF THERMAL METAMORPHISM TEMPERATURE OF EQUILIBRATED ORDINARY CHONDRITES by К. G. Sukhanova, A. B. Kuznetsov, S. G. Skublov, O. L. Galankina

“…The obtained temperatures are consistent with the onion-shell model of the planetesimal structure, in which the most metamorphosed chondrites are closer to the heating source (Buschhof, L6-734 °C), meteorites of the 5th petrologic type (p.t.) occupied an intermediate position (Orlovka, H5 – 687 °С; Elenovka, L5 – 691 °С; Knyaginya, LL5 – 700 °C), and the chondrites of the 4th p.t. were closer to the surface (Kargapole, H4 – 691 °C; Saratov, L4 – 670 °С; Bjurböle, LL4 – 682 °C). …”
