Geodynamic conditions for Cenozoic activation of tectonic structures in Southeastern Mongolia

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018
The knowledge of the neotectonic structures inSoutheastern Mongolia, that is considerably distant from the active plate boundaries, is important for determining a source of tectonic deformation and regular features of activation in the intracontinental ...

Paleoclimatic and provenance implications of magnetic parameters from the Miocene sediments in the Subei Basin

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020
Thick sediments from foreland basins usually provide valuable information for understanding the relationships between mountain building, rock denudation, and sediment deposition.

Widespread erosion on high plateaus during recent glaciations in Scandinavia [PDF]

, 2018
Glaciers create some of Earth’s steepest topography; yet, many areas that were repeatedly overridden by ice sheets in the last few million years include extensive plateaus.

Surface Ocean Cooling in the Eocene North Atlantic Coincides With Declining Atmospheric CO2

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Eocene (56–34 million years ago) is characterized by declining sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the low latitudes (∼4°C) and high southern latitudes (∼8–11°C), in accord with decreasing CO2 estimates.

A MODEL OF THE LATE MESOZOIC AND CENOZOIC THERMOTECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE PRE-MESOZOIC BASEMENT ROCKS IN SOUTH TUVA

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2023
Thermotectonic modeling was performed for the crystalline rocks of South Tuva using the apatite fission-track analysis. Thermotectonic modeling made it possible to visualize the Late Mesozoic and Cenozoic cooling history of the Pre-Mesozoic basement ...

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]

, 2004
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

Cenozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of New Zealand: A reference volume of lithology, age and paleoenvironments with maps (PMAPs) and database. [PDF]

, 2015
This volume presents descriptive geological data and text about each Cenozoic sedimentary and volcanic geological unit to formation and member level (in some cases) exposed on land in New Zealand, including their lithology, stratigraphic age and inferred

Antarctic climate, Southern Ocean circulation patterns, and deep water formation during the Eocene [PDF]

, 2017
We assess early-to-middle Eocene seawater neodymium (Nd) isotope records from seven Southern Ocean deep-sea drill sites to evaluate the role of Southern Ocean circulation in long-term Cenozoic climate change.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...
