New Constraints on Plate Tectonic Puzzle of the SW Pacific [PDF]
, 1998 A long-standing problem in the tectonics of the southwest Pacific has been the lack of closure of the plate circuit linking the Antarctic, Australia, Lord Howe Rise, and Pacific plates in late Cretaceous and early Tertiary time [Molnar et al., 1975 ...

Comparison of calculated energy flux of internal tides with microstructure measurements [PDF]
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2014 Vertical mixing caused by breaking of internal tides plays a major role in maintaining the deep-ocean stratification. This study compares observations of dissipation from microstructure measurements to calculations of the vertical energy flux from ...

El Niño Tectonic Modulation in the Pacific Basin (Revisited) [PDF]
Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2020 The Easter and Juan Fernandez microplates, two counterclockwise-rotating microplates along the East Pacific Rise, are driven by downwelling tectonic vortices, as explained by a more recent geophysical theory known as the surge tectonic hypothesis.

Radiocarbon, 1988 This study was carried out in cooperation with Steve Emerson of the University of Washington. The purpose was to obtain benthic-planktonic and planktonic-planktonic age differences on hand-picked foraminifera shells. Material was taken from two separate subcores from the primary 50cm2 box core (see Tables 8, 9).

Morphology and dynamics of inflated subaqueous basaltic lava flows
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014 During eruptions onto low slopes, basaltic Pahoehoe lava can form thin lobes that progressively coalesce and inflate to many times their original thickness, due to a steady injection of magma beneath brittle and viscoelastic layers of cooled lava that ...
