In the last 1000 million years, Australia has been part of two supercontinents: Palaeozoic
Gondwanaland and Neoproterozoic Rodinia. Neoproterozoic Australia was covered by …

Glaciations have occurred episodically at different time intervals and for different durations in
Earth's history. Ice covers have formed in a wide range of plate tectonic and structural …

Proterozoic Australia has long been interpreted as a single intact continent in which all
tectonic and magmatic activity was intracratonic. This paper proposes an alternative …

New U–Pb in situ zircon dating provides a new approach for the study of the Espinhaço
Supergroup units exposed in the São Francisco Craton and Araçuaí Orogen. Located in …

In oceanic regions the effective elastic thickness Te of the lithosphere is generally estimated
from the free air gravity field and approximately corresponds to the depth of the 450° C …

Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at
large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …

Geochemical and Nd isotopic studies are reported for widespread Late Proterozoic (∼ 800
Ma) mafic dyke swarms and volcanics in central-southern Australia. These mafic suites …

The Lachlan Orogen, like many other orogenic belts, has undergone paradigm shifts from
geosynclinal to plate-tectonic theory of evolution over the past 40 years. Initial plate-tectonic …

The Palaeozoic Alice Springs Orogeny was a major intraplate tectonic event in central and
northern Australia. The sedimentological, structural and isotopic effects of the Alice Springs …

Early workers subdivided the Arunta Inlier, central Australia, into three major tectonic
provinces, classified the principal tectonostratigraphic units into three “Divisions”, and …
