Extending full-plate tectonic models into deep time: Linking the Neoproterozoic and the Phanerozoic
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 …

New global marine gravity model from CryoSat-2 and Jason-1 reveals buried tectonic structure
Gravity models are powerful tools for mapping tectonic structures, especially in the deep
ocean basins where the topography remains unmapped by ships or is buried by thick …

A paleolatitude calculator for paleoclimate studies
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 …
