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 …

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 …

An updated global bathymetry and topography grid is presented using a spatial sampling
interval of 15 arc sec. The bathymetry is produced using a combination of shipboard …

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 …

Global plate motion models provide a spatial and temporal framework for geological data
and have been effective tools for exploring processes occurring at the earth's surface …

We present the first digital seafloor geomorphic features map (GSFM) of the global ocean.
The GSFM includes 131,192 separate polygons in 29 geomorphic feature categories, used …

We describe best-fitting angular velocities and MORVEL, a new closure-enforced set of
angular velocities for the geologically current motions of 25 tectonic plates that collectively …

We present the LITHO1. 0 model, which is a 1° tessellated model of the crust and uppermost
mantle of the Earth, extending into the upper mantle to include the lithospheric lid and …

First published in 1982, Don Turcotte and Jerry Schubert's Geodynamics became a classic
textbook for several generations of students of geophysics and geology. The authors bring …

A new 30-arc second resolution global topography/bathymetry grid (SRTM30_PLUS) has
been developed from a wide variety of data sources. Land and ice topography comes from …
