Secular evolution of continents and the Earth system
Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

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 …

Plate tectonics and the Archean Earth
If we accept that a critical condition for plate tectonics is the creation and maintenance of a
global network of narrow boundaries separating multiple plates, then to argue for plate …

J Hoefs, J Hoefs - 2009 - Springer
The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly

Archaean multi-stage magmatic underplating drove formation of continental nuclei in the North China Craton
The geodynamic processes that formed Earth's earliest continents are intensely debated.
Particularly, the transformation from ancient crustal nuclei into mature Archaean cratons is …

Magmatic thickening of crust in non–plate tectonic settings initiated the subaerial rise of Earth's first continents 3.3 to 3.2 billion years ago
When and how Earth's earliest continents—the cratons—first emerged above the oceans (ie,
emersion) remain uncertain. Here, we analyze a craton-wide record of Paleo-to …

Coexisting divergent and convergent plate boundary assemblages indicate plate tectonics in the Neoarchean
The coexistence of divergent (spreading ridge) and convergent (subduction zone) plate
boundaries at which lithosphere is respectively generated and destroyed is the hallmark of …

Surface erosion events controlled the evolution of plate tectonics on Earth
SV Sobolev, M Brown - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Plate tectonics is among the most important geological processes on Earth, but its
emergence and evolution remain unclear. Here we extrapolate models of present-day plate …

Reconstructing Earth's atmospheric oxygenation history using machine learning
Reconstructing historical atmospheric oxygen (O2) levels at finer temporal resolution is a top
priority for exploring the evolution of life on Earth. This goal, however, is challenged by gaps …
