Accurate spatial models of tectonic plates and geological terranes are important for
analyzing and interpreting a wide variety of geoscientific data and develo** compositional …

The Antarctic rock record spans some 3.5 billion years of history, and has made important
contributions to our understanding of how Earth's continents assemble and disperse through …

Abstract The North China Craton (NCC) has had a long geological history back to ca. 3.8 Ga
ago. In the Anshan area, northeastern part of the craton, three distinct complexes with ages …

Geothermal heat flow (GHF) is an elusive physical property, yet it can reveal past and
present plate tectonic processes. In Antarctica, GHF has further consequences in predicting …

The initial (200–175Ma) breakup of Pangea was marked by the emplacement of the Large
Igneous Provinces (LIPs) of Karoo–Ferrar-SE Australia (KFS) in the back-arc of …

Sediments from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1165 in the Indian Ocean sector of the
Southern Ocean (off Prydz Bay) contain a series of layers that are rich in ice-rafted debris …

The Earth has an evolving history ca. 4.6 Ga old. Precambrian continents experienced
complex geological evolution since the Early Precambrian onward and carry important …

Basin formation from 1800 to 1640 Ma in northern Australia took place in a backarc
extensional upper plate setting accompanied by lithospheric thinning and voluminous but …

Abstract The East Antarctic ice sheet underwent a major expansion during the Mid-Miocene
Climate Transition, around 14 Ma, lowering sea level by∼ 60 m. However, direct or indirect …

The Pinjarra Orogen, stretching along the western coast of Western Australia, is one of the
least understood orogens on the continent. Exposure is limited to fault-bound basement …
