An atlas of Phanerozoic paleogeographic maps: the seas come in and the seas go out
CR Scotese - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Paleogeography is the study of the changing surface of Earth through time. Driven by plate
tectonics, the configuration of the continents and ocean basins has been in constant flux …

[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic
The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Slab2, a comprehensive subduction zone geometry model
Subduction zones are home to the most seismically active faults on the planet. The shallow
megathrust interfaces of subduction zones host Earth's largest earthquakes and are likely …

A global data set of present‐day oceanic crustal age and seafloor spreading parameters
We present an updated oceanic crustal age grid and a set of complementary grids including
spreading rate, asymmetry, direction, and obliquity. Our data set is based on a selected set …

Mantle plumes and their role in Earth processes
The existence of mantle plumes was first proposed in the 1970s to explain intra-plate,
hotspot volcanism, yet owing to difficulties in resolving mantle upwellings with geophysical …

The supercontinent cycle
Supercontinents signify self-organization in plate tectonics. Over the past~ 2 billion years,
three major supercontinents have been identified, with increasing age: Pangaea, Rodinia …

GlobSed: Updated total sediment thickness in the world's oceans
We present GlobSed, a new global 5‐arc‐minute total sediment thickness grid for the world's
oceans and marginal seas. GlobSed covers a larger area than previously published global …
