Numerical Modeling of Purely Active (Plume‐Produced) Continental Rifting and Break‐Up
Abstract In contrast to the traditional mechanism of passive continental rifting (driven by far‐field tectonic forces), the active rifting‐to‐break‐up processes (caused by rising mantle plumes) are still poorly understood. However, most episodes of fragmentation of the last supercontinent Pangea were relatively shortly preceded (within ∼10 Myr) by the ...

ABSTRACT The sediment signature of glacial erosion products exported from Hudson Strait to the Labrador Sea during Hudson Strait Heinrich (HS‐H) events is evaluated using four distinct proxies: paired δ18Ο and δ13C data on the carbonate fraction, εNd and U–Pb isotopes in the silicate fraction, the mineral composition of the <2 mm bulk sediment fraction,

Abstract Recent observations and drilling campaigns have challenged the typical models for rifted margins by providing evidence for the existence of intermediate cases between the magmatic and amagmatic end‐members. In this contribution, we document the evolution of the Central Campos rifted margin, located in southeast Brazil, based on a combined ...

This study of recent exploration drillcore reveals two sequences separated by a disconformity. Basal alluvial fan to shallow marine lithofacies suggest reactivation of basement faults, and a distinct upwelling signature points to a flooded margin, controlled by differential subsidence of diverse Proterozoic lithosphere.

Seismic Insight on Basement Structure of the Extinct Mid‐Oceanic Ridge in Canada Basin, Arctic Ocean
Abstract The most accepted theory for the formation of the Canada Basin is that it was created during 66° rotation of Arctic Alaska around the Euler pole located near the Mackenzie Delta sometime during the Mesozoic. Gravity and magnetic anomaly data are consistent with an extinct mid‐oceanic ridge (MOR) in the central basin.

Abstract The Svalbard archipelago is well‐known for its outcropping geology, but its subsurface geometry and physical properties are less well constrained. To address this knowledge gap, a multidisciplinary approach has been applied to integrate potential field data with seismic reflection profiles, exploration boreholes and geology.

Shallow‐marine mudstone of the Cretaceous Kaskapau Formation in the British Columbia foredeep preserves a 185 m thick record of OAE2. The organic carbon‐isotope and osmium‐isotope excursions can be correlated in detail with other Cenomanian–Turonian boundary sections around the world.

The role of shallow banks and marine ice domes in marine‐based ice‐sheet deglaciation
Marine‐based ice sheets are susceptible to collapse and faster retreat than their land‐terminating counterparts. One of the key factors contributing to the relative stability of marine‐terminating ice sheets is the presence of shallow bathymetric banks and islands acting as pinning points for the ice sheet.
