Impact of the lithosphere on dynamic topography: Insights from analogue modeling

Abstract: Density anomalies beneath the lithosphere are expected to generate dynamic topography at the Earth's surface due to the induced mantle flow stresses which scale linearly with density anomalies, while the viscosity of the upper mantle is expected to control uplift rates. However, limited attention has been given to the role of the lithosphere. Here we present results from analogue modeling of the interactions between a density anomaly rising in the mantle and the lithosphere in a Newtonian system. We find that,… Show more

“…Nevertheless, we observe a partial filtering of small-scale dynamic topography close to continents, which are stiffer and thicker. This could result from an attenuation for dynamic mantle tractions by the lithosphere rheology, as studied in laboratory experiments by Sembroni et al (2017).…”

“…We computed dynamic topography from sources of buoyancy deeper than 350 km. Considering the lithospheric mantle would elastically filter long‐wavelength dynamic topography from deep sources (Golle et al., 2012; Sembroni et al., 2017), and considering the uppermost mantle would add short‐wavelength dynamic topography of relatively large amplitude (Davies et al., 2019; Hoggard et al., 2016); however it remains difficult to determine the present‐day thermochemical structure of the mantle lithosphere, let alone to model is temporal evolution. Thus, we focus on long‐wavelength dynamic topography, which can be modelled back in time.…”

“…Afonso et al, 2016;Plank & Forsyth, 2016;Klöcking et al, 2018). Furthermore the filtering effect of the lithosphere on the expression of deeper buoyancy remains poorly understood (Golle et al, 2012;Sembroni et al, 2017).…”
