Weak asthenosphere beneath the Eurasian interior inferred from Aral Sea desiccation - Nature Geoscience
The drying out of the Aral Sea has induced flow of the relatively weak asthenosphere beneath, demonstrating that human activity can influence mantle dynamics, according to numerical simulations of ground uplift measured by radar interferometry.
