[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

What's in a name? The Columbia (Paleopangaea/Nuna) supercontinent
JG Meert - Gondwana Research, 2012 - Elsevier
Supercontinents play an important role in Earth's history. The exact definition of what
constitutes a supercontinent is difficult to establish. Here the argument is made, using …
