Subduction history reveals Cretaceous slab superflux as a possible cause for the mid-Cretaceous plume pulse and superswell events
Subduction is a fundamental mechanism of material exchange between the planetary
interior and the surface. Despite its significance, our current understanding of fluctuating …

Constraining plateau uplift in southern Africa by combining thermochronology, sediment flux, topography, and landscape evolution modeling
The uplift of the southern African Plateau with its average elevations of∼ 1,000 m is often
attributed to mantle processes, but there are conflicting theories for the timing and drivers of …
