Surface deformation in continental interiors is typically coupled to processes at depth.
However, in the Sichuan basin, east of the Tibetan Plateau, recent seismic data detect …

The fossil record provides the primary source of data for calibrating the origin of clades.
Although minimum ages of clades are given by the oldest preserved fossil, these …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

Abstract The West Siberian Seaway connected the Tethys to the Arctic Ocean in the
Paleogene and played an important role for Eurasian-Arctic biogeography, ocean …

A 1430 km, deep crustal, seismic reflection profile of the Parnaíba basin shows an
asymmetric, structured western margin and a gently dip** eastern margin. The~ 3 km …

Cratonic basins are sites of prolonged, broadly distributed but slow subsidence of the
continental lithosphere, and are commonly filled with shallow water and terrestrial …

Regional grain size trends in fluvial successions can reveal important information regarding
the dynamics of sediment routing systems. Self‐similar solutions for down‐system grain size …

Surface wave tomography, heat flow, and crustal thickness measurements have
demonstrated that the thickness of the continental lithosphere varies by at least a factor of 2 …

Explaining the cause and support of Africa's varied topography remains a fundamental
question for our understanding of the long-term evolution of the continent. As geodynamical …

This study investigated the rifting mechanism that preceded the prolonged subsidence of the
Paleozoic Parnaíba basin in Brazil and shed light on the tectonic evolution of this large …
