-
(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. ...
-
(2023)Periodic assembly and break-up of supercontinents since at least two billion years ago (Ga), dubbed the supercontinent cycle, provides the first-order tectonic control on the evolution of the Earth System including episodic ...
-
(2020)The original version of this Article omitted from the author list the 4th and 5th authors, Grant Cox and Ross Mitchell, who were both at Curtin University. Consequently, the corrected version of the Acknowledgements removes ...
-
Global geochemical fingerprinting of plume intensity suggests coupling with the supercontinent cycle(2019)Plate tectonics and mantle plumes are two of the most fundamental solid-Earth processes that have operated through much of Earth history. For the past 300 million years, mantle plumes are known to derive mostly from two ...
-
(2020)The South China Block (SCB) has been regarded by many as an integral part of Gondwana, but proposed timing and processes for its accretion to Gondwana vary and remain contentious, largely owing to the lack of reliable ...
-
(2021)Many Archean cratons exhibit Paleoproterozoic rifted margins, implying they were pieces of some ancestral landmass(es). The idea that such an ancient continental assembly represents an Archean supercontinent has been ...
-
(2020)Detailed geochronological, geochemical, and paleomagnetic studies of mafic dyke swarms, often associated with mantle plumes, can provide unique constraints on paleogeographic reconstructions. Mafic dykes with baddeleyite ...
-
(2019)The relative significance of various geodynamic mechanisms that drive supercontinent breakup is unclear. A previous analysis of extensional stress during supercontinent breakup demonstrated the importance of the plume-push ...
-
(2020)Accurately mapping plate boundary types and locations through time is essential for understanding the evolution of the plate-mantle system and the exchange of material between the solid Earth and surface environments. ...
-
(2020)Paleogeography can be reconstructed using various crust- or mantle-based reference frames that make fundamentally different assumptions. The various reconstruction models differ significantly in continental paleolongitude, ...
