(2020)The assembly of East Asia was closely linked to the closure of the Tethyan oceans. In south-east China, the closure of the Paleo-Tethys ocean led to a continental collision between the South China and North China blocks ...
-
(2020)The poly-deformed Georgetown Inlier (GTI) in NE Australia has recently been suggested to record a 1.60 Ga orogenic event related to final Nuna assembly. However, the structural evolution of the inlier has remained poorly ...
-
(2020)Progressive mantle melting during the Earth’s earliest evolution led to the formation of a depleted mantle and a continental crust enriched in highly incompatible elements. Re-enrichment of Earth’s mantle can occur when ...
-
(2020)The circa 1.60 Ga Isan Orogeny in NE Australia has been ascribed to the collision of Australia and Laurentia (North America), marking the final assembly of the Proterozoic supercontinent Nuna. However, details regarding ...
-
(2021)The state of the geomagnetic field throughout the Precambrian era is largely unknown. Approximately 8% of global paleointensity records account for ∼4 billion years of Earth history. Despite this severe sparsity, the data ...
-
(2021)Rare oceanic diamonds are believed to have a mantle transition zone origin like super-deep continental diamonds. However, oceanic diamonds have a homogeneous and organic-like light carbon isotope signature (δ13C − 28 to ...
-
(2022)Earth's known supercontinents are believed to have formed in vastly different ways, with two endmembers being introversion and extroversion. The former involves the closure of the internal oceans formed during the break-up ...
-
(2022)The kinematics of the Paleoproterozoic assembly of Earth's first supercontinent, Nuna, are still debated. We present new paleomagnetic results from two Paleoproterozoic rock formations in the North Australia Craton (NAC) ...
-
(2023)Establishing how tectonic plates have moved since deep time is essential for understanding how Earth's geodynamic system has evolved and operates, thus answering longstanding questions such as what “drives” plate tectonics. ...
