Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

Basalt Geochemistry and Mantle Flow During Early Backarc Basin Evolution: Havre Trough and Kermadec Arc, Southwest Pacific

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The Havre Trough (HT) backarc basin in the southwest Pacific is in the rifting stage of development. We distinguish five types of basalt there based on their amount and kind of slab component: backarc basalts (BAB) with little or no slab component ...

Molecular and fossil evidence place the origin of cichlid fishes long after Gondwanan rifting. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cichlid fishes are a key model system in the study of adaptive radiation, speciation and evolutionary developmental biology. More than 1600 cichlid species inhabit freshwater and marginal marine environments across several southern landmasses.

Sedimentation record in the Konkan-Kerala Basin: implications for the evolution of the Western Ghats and the Western Indian passive margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Konkan and Kerala Basins constitute a major depocentre for sediment from the onshore hinterland of Western India and as such provide a valuable record of the timing and magnitude of Cenozoic denudation along the continental margin.

Pre-collisional architecture of the European distal margin: Inferences from the high-pressure continental units of central Corsica (France)

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2023
The Lower Units of Alpine Corsica, France, are fragments of continental crust strongly deformed and metamorphosed under high-pressure metamorphic conditions. Three slices of Lower Units are well exposed in the area between the Asco and Tavignano valleys,

The thermal history of the Western Irish onshore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present here a low-temperature thermochronological study that combines the apatite fission-track and (U + Th)/He dating methods with a pseudo-vertical sampling approach to generate continuous and well-constrained temperature–time histories from the ...

The Stratigraphic Record of Pre-breakup Geodynamics: Evidence from the Barrow Delta, offshore Northwest Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The structural and stratigraphic evolution of rift basins and passive margins has been widely studied, with many analyses demonstrating that delta systems can provide important records of post-rift geodynamic processes.
