Growth, destruction, and preservation of Earth's continental crust
From the scant Hadean records of the Jack Hills to Cenozoic supervolcanoes, the
continental crust provides a synoptic view deep into Earth history. However, the information …

A global plate model including lithospheric deformation along major rifts and orogens since the Triassic
Global deep‐time plate motion models have traditionally followed a classical rigid plate
approach, even though plate deformation is known to be significant. Here we present a …
