EUNAseis: A seismic model for Moho and crustal structure in Europe, Greenland, and the North Atlantic region
Abstract We present a new digital crustal model for Moho depth and crustal structure in Europe, Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, European Arctic shelf, and the North Atlantic Ocean (72W–62E, 30N–84N). Our compilation is based on digitization of...

Policy implications for improved cook stove programs—A case study of the importance of village fuel use variations
Abstract Despite the long history of cook stove programs, very few have been successful, often only in areas where biomass is purchased or there is a biomass shortage. Several studies have described how rural households generally rely on several...

The contribution of metamorphic petrology to understanding lithosphere evolution and geodynamics
Abstract In the early 1980s, evidence that crustal rocks had reached temperatures >1000 °C at normal lower crustal pressures while others had followed low thermal gradients to record pressures characteristic of mantle conditions began to appear...
