Estimation of the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere using inverse spectral methods: the state of the art

The effective elastic thickness (Te) is a geometric measure of the flexural rigidity of the lithosphere, which describes the resistance to bending under the application of applied, vertical loads. As such, it is likely that its magnitude has a major role in governing the tectonic evolution of both c...
