Abstract Although Jaillard's (2022) paper denotes the first attempt to propose a model for the
orogeny build-up of the Ecuadorian Andes, it is based on endorsing the poorly constrained …

Using Gondwana as an example, we show how the geological record can be interrogated to
detect significant changes in mantle convection patterns at critical junctures in Earth's …

Identifying long-lived subduction at the periphery of supercontinents provides insights into
the processes of block assembly and dispersal within the supercontinent cycle. The Yangtze …

The Rodinia to Pangaea supercontinent cycle represents the most recent complete cycle in
the geological record and thus informs models on the processes involved in supercontinent …

Ophiolites are fragments of oceanic lithosphere now entrained within continents. Some
ophiolites, such as the Bay of Islands ophiolite in the Appalachian-Caledonian Orogen and …

Geodynamic models for Pangea assembly require knowledge of Paleozoic mantle
convection patterns. Application of basic geodynamic principles to Neoproterozoic …

The relationship between the lithosphere and the mantle during the supercontinent cycle is
complex and poorly constrained. The processes which drive dispersal are often simplified to …

Special Publication 542 is a tribute to the remarkable career of J. Brendan Murphy and
features 32 articles by 134 authors from 17 different countries; a testament to the high-profile …

Marine geology is a well-known [1, 2] and still-develo** field of research that deals with
geological bodies and processes below the sea level and sometimes refers to ancient …
