Our paper entitled “Seismic evidence for lithospheric thinning and heat in the northern Canadian Cordillera” was recently awarded the David Elliott Best Paper Award from the Canadian Tectonics Group division of the Geological Association of Canada! The CTG review publications from the previous calendar year from more than 35 journals to nominate excellent publications by a Canadian first author or on a Canadian field area. Below is the citation from the short list committee.

Geophysical and geological data indicate that the lithosphere in the northern Canadian Cordillera (NCC) is thin and hot. However, lack of direct constraints on mantle structure is fueling debates on the origin and nature of this lithosphere. Here we …
