Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has seen models move beyond the
classical idea of continental drift by attempting to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of …

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 …

Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the present, this
interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions and surface volcanism are linked to …

Many aspects of deep-time Earth System models, including mantle convection,
paleoclimatology, paleobiogeography and the deep Earth carbon cycle, require high …

Realistic appraisal of paleoclimatic information obtained from a particular location requires
accurate knowledge of its paleolatitude defined relative to the Earth's spin-axis. This is …

The thin-skin Sevier and thick-skin Laramide belts of the North American Cordillera provide
a long-term record of the interrelations between evolving styles of mountain building and …

Abstract We reconstructed Philippine Sea and East Asian plate tectonics since 52 Ma from
28 slabs mapped in 3‐D from global tomography, with a subducted area of~ 25% of present …

A new P wave tomographic model of the mantle was constructed using more than 10 million
travel times. The finite‐frequency effect of seismic rays was taken into account by calculating …

We study the age of the subducting Pacific slab beneath East Asia using a high-resolution
model of P-wave tomography and paleo-age data of ancient seafloor. Our results show that …

The Mexican orogen is the expression in Mexico of the Cordilleran orogenic system. The
orogen extends the length of Mexico, a distance of 2000 km from the state of Sonora in the …
