Icelandic-type crust (2003)
Journal Article
Foulger, G., Du, Z., & Julian, B. (2003). Icelandic-type crust. Geophysical Journal International, 155(2), 567-590. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-246x.2003.02056.x

Numerous seismic studies, in particular using receiver functions and explosion seismology, have provided a detailed picture of the structure and thickness of the crust beneath the Iceland transverse ridge. We review the results and propose a structur... Read More about Icelandic-type crust.

Is 'hotspot' volcanism a consequence of plate tectonics? (2003)
Journal Article
Foulger, G., & Natland, J. (2003). Is 'hotspot' volcanism a consequence of plate tectonics?. Science, 300(5621), 921-922. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1083376

Many volcanoes are associated with subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges, but other areas of unusually high volcanism (or "hotspots") have a more subtle connection to plate tectonic processes. In their Perspective, Foulger and Natland argue that "hots... Read More about Is 'hotspot' volcanism a consequence of plate tectonics?.

Reservoir depletion at The Geysers geothermal area, California, shown by four-dimensional seismic tomography (2003)
Journal Article
Gunasekera, R., Foulger, G., & Julian, B. (2003). Reservoir depletion at The Geysers geothermal area, California, shown by four-dimensional seismic tomography. Journal of Geophysical Research, 108(B3), Article 2134. https://doi.org/10.1029/2001jb000638

Intensive geothermal exploitation at The Geysers geothermal area, California, induces myriads of small-magnitude earthquakes that are monitored by a dense, permanent, local seismometer network. Using this network, tomographic inversions were performe... Read More about Reservoir depletion at The Geysers geothermal area, California, shown by four-dimensional seismic tomography.
