Convergent continental margins are the major sites for the formation, differentiation,
preservation, and destruction of continental crust. This article focuses on the Mesozoic …

Potential temporal and causal connections among various geologic events have long been
discussed in the geological literature. More recently, signs of common periodicities in these …

Understanding the long-term evolution of Earth's plate-mantle system is reliant on absolute
plate motion models in a mantle reference frame, but such models are both difficult to …

The amalgamation of Laurentia's Archean provinces ca. 1830 Ma was followed by~ 700 my
of accretionary orogenesis along its active southeastern margin, marked by subduction of …

We performed spectral analyses on the ages of 89 well-dated major geological events of the
last 260 Myr from the recent geologic literature. These events include times of marine and …

We present a new S-wave velocity tomographic model of the upper mantle beneath the
Australian Plate and its boundaries that we call Aus22. It includes azimuthal anisotropy and …

The structure of continental intraplate volcanic systems—which occur far from tectonic
boundaries, unlike the majority of Earth's volcanism—is enigmatic and not fully understood …

Intraplate surface deformation is enigmatic and the underlying mechanisms responsible are
not fully understood. We use thermo‐mechanical numerical modeling to explore the …

The Laramide foreland belt comprises a broad region of thick-skinned, contractional
deformation characterized by an anastomosing network of basement-cored arches and …

PyGPlates is an open‐source Python library to visualize and edit plate tectonic
reconstructions created using GPlates. The Python API affords a greater level of flexibility …
