Crustal structure of the Cape Verde Swell : insights into the flexural response of the lithosphere to loading

Throughout the ocean basins many broad regions of anomalously shallow topography exist that do not fit the widely accepted model of conductive plate cooling and subsidence as a function of lithospheric age. These ‘swells’ often coincide with positive geoid, Free-air gravity and heat flow anomalies a...
