Uncertainties in the relative positions of the Australia, Antarctica, Lord Howe, and Pacific Plates since the Late Cretaceous [PDF]
, 1982 We determined parameters that describe finite rotations and their uncertainty regions for relative plate motion at the spreading centers between the Pacific and Antarctica plates, between Australia and Antarctica, and between the Lord Howe Rise and ...

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 ...

Clash of the titans & India’s Asia-Pacific predicament [PDF]
Revista UNISCIThe strategic notion of the Indo-Pacific revolves primarily around the perception of China’s assertive rise and the potential decline of the US-led liberal international order, triggering strategic competition and rivalry between rising and dominant ...

PLoS Biology, 2012 Since the first discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents along the Galápagos Rift in 1977, numerous vent sites and endemic faunal assemblages have been found along mid-ocean ridges and back-arc basins at low to mid latitudes.

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).

Similar Microbial Communities Found on Two Distant Seafloor Basalts. [PDF]
, 2015 The oceanic crust forms two thirds of the Earth's surface and hosts a large phylogenetic and functional diversity of microorganisms. While advances have been made in the sedimentary realm, our understanding of the igneous rock portion as a microbial ...

Magnetic telechemistry and magmatic segmentation on the Southern East Pacific Rise [PDF]
, 1998 Results from axial dredges and a profile inversion of magnetic anomaly data along the axis of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) at 13-23°S provide an estimate of the average degree of fractionation for the extrusive layer at this ultrafast-spreading (∼145 mm/

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 ...
