Cenozoic sea-level and cryospheric evolution from deep-sea geochemical and continental margin records. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2020 Global mean sea level estimated for the Cenozoic using a new astronomically calibrated Pacific benthic foraminiferal δ18O splice. Using Pacific benthic foraminiferal δ18O and Mg/Ca records, we derive a Cenozoic (66 Ma) global mean sea level (GMSL ...

The role of magmatism in the thinning and breakup of the South China Sea continental margin: Special Topic: The South China Sea Ocean Drilling. [PDF]
Natl Sci Rev, 2019 INTRODUCTION Magmatism plays a key role in the process of continental margin breakup and ocean formation. Even in the extremely magma-poor Iberia and Newfoundland margin, studies of field outcrops have shown that syn-rift magmatism had participated in ...

Climate-controlled submarine landslides on the Antarctic continental margin [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Antarctica’s continental margins pose an unknown submarine landslide-generated tsunami risk to Southern Hemisphere populations and infrastructure. Understanding the factors driving slope failure is essential to assessing future geohazards.

Rift migration explains continental margin asymmetry and crustal hyper-extension. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2014 When continents break apart, continental crust and lithosphere are thinned until break-up is achieved and an oceanic basin is formed. The most remarkable and least understood structures associated with this process are up to 200 km wide areas of hyper ...

South China Sea documents the transition from wide continental rift to continental break up
Nature Communications, 2020 The transition from wide continental rift to continental break-up remains enigmatic. Here, the authors show that northern margin of the South China Sea records the transition between wide continental rift to a highly extended continental margin, with ...

Rapid transition from continental breakup to igneous oceanic crust in the South China Sea [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2018 Continental breakup represents the successful process of rifting and thinning of the continental lithosphere, leading to plate rupture and initiation of oceanic crust formation.

Tectono-sedimentary evolution of the NE Dinarides margin during the Cretaceous Adria-Europe convergence [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2023 The Cretaceous sedimentation along the NE Dinarides margin occurred in basins above the Europe-dipping Neotethyan Sava subduction zone positioned between Adria- and Europe-derived continental units.
