[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 …

The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

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 …

Rapid South Atlantic spreading changes and coeval vertical motion in surrounding continents: Evidence for temporal changes of pressure‐driven upper mantle flow
Abstract The South Atlantic region displays (1) a topographic gradient across the basin, with
Africa elevated relative to South America,(2) a bimodal spreading history with fast spreading …

[HTML][HTML] Subduction invasion polarity switch from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean: A new geodynamic model of subduction initiation based on the Scotia Sea region
Subduction zones and their associated slabs are the main drivers of plate tectonics and
mantle flow, but how these zones initiate remains enigmatic. In the Scotia Sea region …

[HTML][HTML] A geological map of the Scotia Sea area constrained by bathymetry, geological data, geophysical data and seismic tomography models from the deep mantle
A Beniest, WP Schellart - Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract The Scotia Sea is one of the tectonically most complex and least understood back-
arc basins on Earth, which partly results from its remote location making the acquisition of …

[HTML][HTML] Sedimentary model for mixed depositional systems along the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula: decoding the interplay of deep-water processes
Mixed (turbidite-contourite) depositional systems are formed by a complex interplay of deep-
water processes. An evaluation of their morphological elements and their lateral and spatial …

Curie depth, heat flux, and thermal subsidence reveal the Pacific mantle outflow through the Scotia Sea
The sinking of the ocean sea bottom is produced by thermal cooling of the lithosphere. This
evolution is determined by the underlying asthenospheric mantle. Estimation of the Curie …
