Onset of plate tectonics by the Eoarchean
One of the most contentious areas of Earth Science today is when, or whether or not modern-
style plate tectonics was in operation in the Archean Eon. In this review we present evidence …

Growth of continental crust in intra-oceanic and continental-margin arc systems: Analogs for Archean systems
Earth's continental crust has grown and been recycled throughout geologic history along
convergent plate margins. The main locus of continental crustal growth is in intra-oceanic …

Trace element discrimination of arc, slab failure, and A-type granitic rocks
Although widely used, classification schemes for granitic rocks have until now failed to
separate slab failure from arc magmatism in collisional orogens. Our previous work showed …

Tectonic evolution of convergent plate margins and its geological effects
Oceanic lithosphere is generated at divergent plate boundaries and disappears at
convergent plate boundaries. Seafloor spreading and plate subduction together constitute …

Archean dome-and-basin style structures form during growth and death of intraoceanic and continental margin arcs in accretionary orogens
Determining whether plate tectonics or some other mode of planetary dynamics operated in
the early Archean is one of the most contentious and debated areas of Earth Sciences today …

Catastrophic slab loss in southwestern Pangea preserved in the mantle and igneous record
Abstract The Choiyoi Magmatic Province represents a major episode of silicic magmatism in
southwestern Pangea in the mid-Permian-Triassic, the origin of which remains intensely …
