Depth to LAB
Depth to the Lithosphere–Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB) modelled by Geognostics with support from government, academia and industry. The LAB surface is the base of the ridgid lithosphere and the top of the ductile asthenosphere. In geothermal terms it marks a thermal and mechanical tranisition in the Earth at a temperature of 1330 °C. This surface is modelled using themal modelling (mantle heat flow, crustal heat production, thermal conductivity, Moho depth and lithospheric structure) seismic tomography, magnetotellurics, global and regional geodynamic models and tectonic context.
