[HTML][HTML] A dynamic 2000—540 Ma Earth history: From cratonic amalgamation to the age of supercontinent cycle
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 …

Revised definition of large igneous provinces (LIPs)
Much has been learned about Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and their database greatly
expanded since their first formal categorization in the early 1990s. This progress provides an …

Lateral magma flow in mafic sill complexes
The structure of upper crustal magma plumbing systems controls the distribution of
volcanism and influences tectonic processes. However, delineating the structure and …

Antarctica—before and after Gondwana
SD Boger - Gondwana Research, 2011 - Elsevier
The origin of the Antarctic continent can be traced to a relatively small late Archaean cratonic
nucleus centred on the Terre Adélie regions of East Antarctica and the Gawler Craton region …

Plume-driven recratonization of deep continental lithospheric mantle
Cratons are Earth's ancient continental land masses that remain stable for billions of years.
The mantle roots of cratons are renowned as being long-lived, stable features of Earth's …

Large igneous provinces (LIPs), giant dyke swarms, and mantle plumes: significance for breakup events within Canada and adjacent regions from 2.5 Ga to the …
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are high volume, short duration pulses of intraplate
magmatism consisting mainly of flood basalts and their associated plumbing system, but …

Global record of 1600–700 Ma Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs): implications for the reconstruction of the proposed Nuna (Columbia) and Rodinia supercontinents
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are commonly associated with breakup of continents, and
therefore, are a critical source of information to constrain paleocontinental reconstructions …

Lithospheric, cratonic, and geodynamic setting of Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits
The location of magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits is related to lithospheric architecture,
particularly that of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). At crustal levels, this …

Frontiers in large igneous province research
Earth history is punctuated by events during which large volumes of mafic magmas were
generated and emplaced by processes distinct from “normal” seafloor spreading and …

Assembling Australia: Proterozoic building of a continent
PA Cawood, RJ Korsch - Precambrian Research, 2008 - Elsevier
The western two-thirds of Australia is underlain by Precambrian rocks that are divisible into
three Archean to Paleoproterozoic cratons, the West Australian, North Australian and South …
