Non‐Uniqueness, Symmetries and Invariance of Thermal History Modelling in Sedimentary Basins
This paper approaches non‐unique inverse problems by generating a representative ensemble of all possible solutions using the concept of symmetry. In the context of basin modelling, a symmetry is any manipulation of a forward model's parameters (e.g., thermal history) that leaves the model output (e.g., downhole vitrinite reflectance) unchanged ...

Thermal and Structural Reconstruction of an Eroded Foreland Basin: Central Appalachian Basin, USA
New low‐temperature thermochronology and modelling reveal a complex thermal history for the central Appalachian Basin. Results indicate Carboniferous exhumation of the fold‐thrust belt and Mesozoic heating in the foredeep linked to the Rome Trough. Deeply buried Devonian source rocks were consequently pushed past the peak oil and gas windows.

ABSTRACT The processes involved during subduction initiation (SI) remain poorly constrained, in part due to the rarity of geological archives. Ophiolites and their underlying metamorphic soles are thought to form during subduction zone infancy and may thus provide critical constraints. Metamorphic soles are derived from oceanic crust of the lower plate

The Seismic Expression of Core Complex‐Style Extensional Detachment Faults in Rifted Margins
ABSTRACT The identification of core complex‐style extensional detachment faults (CCDFs) in rifted margins is crucial for accurately restoring their stratigraphic and thermal histories. Yet recognising CCDFs in seismic reflection images is challenging due to their faint topographic expression; the lack of associated abrupt offset in seismic reflections;

Emergence of Continents Stabilized the Bioavailability of Boron
ABSTRACT Boron is an essential element for the development of life on Earth; borates stabilize ribose in prebiotic reactions and facilitate metabolism in higher plants. There is, however, a relatively narrow surface boron concentration range over which borates stabilize and serve as a micronutrient rather than a toxin.

Abstract The Ecuadorian margin is a forearc‐arc system shaped by oceanic terrane accretion and Carnegie Ridge subduction, yet the accretion mechanism and ridge subduction extent remain poorly constrained. Using teleseismic P‐wave receiver functions from dense seismic arrays, we image velocity discontinuities within the overriding plate and subducting ...
