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 …

Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has seen models move beyond the
classical idea of continental drift by attempting to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of …

GPlates is an open‐source, cross‐platform plate tectonic geographic information system,
enabling the interactive manipulation of plate‐tectonic reconstructions and the visualization …

While a general concensus has recently been reached as to the causal relationship
between the subduction of the west Pacific plate and the destruction of the North China …

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 …

We present a revised global plate motion model with continuously closing plate boundaries
ranging from the Triassic at 230 Ma to the present day, assess differences among alternative …

Abstract The Mesozoic Western Pacific subduction system significantly impacted the North
China and South China blocks along the East Asian continental margin and influenced the …

BACKGROUND Although thermal expansion of seawater and melting of mountain glaciers
have dominated global mean sea level (GMSL) rise over the last century, mass loss from the …

Eustatic sea-level changes of the Cretaceous are reevaluated based on a synthesis of
global stratigraphic data. A new terminology for local/regional or relative sea-level changes …

Living turtles are characterized by extraordinarily low species diversity given their age. The
clade's extensive fossil record indicates that climate and biogeography may have played …
