New Kinematic Model of the Early Opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Realm

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean constitutes the final stage of Gondwana's breakup, leading to the separation of the African and South American continents. The early spreading has been debated due to the absence of magnetic anomalies related to the Early Cretaceous opening at low latitude, and an incomplete fracture zone record ...

Mesoproterozoic intraplate magmatic ‘barcode’ record of the Angola portion of the Congo Craton: Newly dated magmatic events at 1505 and 1110 Ma and implications for Nuna (Columbia) supercontinent reconstructions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the Angola portion of the Congo Craton, the only Proterozoic large igneous province (LIP) dated prior to this study was the 1380–1370 Ma (Kunene Intrusive Complex and related units). U–Pb TIMS ages on baddeleyite from dolerite sills and gabbro-noritic

Interglacial dust, ocean fertilisation and Neoproterozoic earth oxygenation

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 654-674, April 2025.
Mineral dust is an integral part of modern ocean nutrient supply. It is originated mainly in deserts and by glacial processes. Given the global scale of the Neoproterozoic glaciations, we suggest that mineral dust formed during snowball events were blown to oceans, sustaining life, promoting CO2 sequestration and contributing to the oxygenation of ...

The lithospheric structure of Pangea [PDF]

open access: yes
Lithospheric thickness of continents, obtained from Rayleigh wave tomography, is used to make maps of the lithospheric thickness of Pangea by reconstructing the continental arrangement in the Permian. This approach assumes that lithosphere moves with the

The tailings dam failure of 5 November 2015 in SE Brazil and its preceding seismic sequence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The collapse of a mine tailings dam and subsequent flood in SE Brazil on 5 November 2015 was preceded by a small-magnitude seismic sequence. In this report, we explore the spatiotemporal associations between the seismic events and the accident and ...
