Moving hotspots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The assumption that stationary hotspots underlie the Earth’s lithospheric plates has been most important in the development of the theory of plate tectonics. According to the fixed hotspot hypothesis seamount trails are formed by volcanism penetrating the

Reconstructed ocean plate stratigraphy sequences from the Permian subduction-accretionary complex in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

open access: yesGeosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
The Permian Tethys subduction-accretionary complex (SAC) in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is distributed in six geotectonic provinces, which are known as the Zongwulong-Ganjia, the Western Kunlun, the Eastern Kunlun, the Ganzi-Litang, the Xijinwulan ...

Running-in wear modeling of honed surface for combustion engine cylinder liners [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The texture change during running-in alters the performance and efficiency of a tribo-mechanical system. During mass production of cylinder liners, a final finishing stage known as ‘‘plateau honing’’ is commonly added to reduce the running-in wear ...

Sex, body size, and boldness shape the seasonal foraging habitat selection in southern elephant seals

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Selecting foraging habitat is a fundamental behavior in the life of organisms as it directly links resource acquisition to fitness. Differences in habitat selection among individuals may arise from several intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and yet, their ...

The Effect of the Kerguelen Plateau on the Ocean Circulation

open access: yesJournal of Physical Oceanography, 2016
AbstractThe Kerguelen Plateau is a major topographic feature in the Southern Ocean. Located in the Indian sector and spanning nearly 2000 km in the meridional direction from the polar to the subantarctic region, it deflects the eastward-flowing Antarctic Circumpolar Current and influences the physical circulation and biogeochemistry of the Southern ...
