Global kinematics of tectonic plates and subduction zones since the late Paleozoic Era
Young, Alexander; Flament, Nicolas; Maloney, Kayla T.; Williams, Simon E; Matthews, Kara J; Zahirovic, Sabin; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2019-08-15Detailed global plate motion models that provide a continuous description of plate boundaries through time are an effective tool for exploring processes both at and below the Earth's surface. A new generation of numerical ...Open AccessArticle -
Global plate boundary evolution and kinematics since the late Paleozoic
Matthews, Kara J; Maloney, Kayla T; Zahirovic, Sabin; Williams, Simon E; Seton, Maria; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2016-11-01Many aspects of deep-time Earth System models, including mantle convection, paleoclimatology, paleobiogeography and the deep Earth carbon cycle, require high-resolution plate motion models that include the evolution of the ...Open AccessArticle -
Improving global paleogeography since the late Paleozoic using paleobiology
Cao, Wenchao; Zahirovic, Sabin; Flament, Nicolas; Williams, Simon E; Golonka, Jan; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2017-12-04Paleogeographic reconstructions are important to understand Earth's tectonic evolution, past eustatic and regional sea level change, paleoclimate and ocean circulation, deep Earth resources and to constrain and interpret ...Open AccessArticle -
The interplay of dynamic topography and eustasy on continental flooding in the late Paleozoic
Cao, Wenchao; Flament, Nicolas; Zahirovic, Sabin; Williams, Simon E; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2019-06-20Global sea level change can be inferred from sequence stratigraphic and continental flooding data. These methods reconstruct sea level from peri-cratonic and cratonic basins that are assumed to be tectonically stable and ...Open AccessArticle -
Large fluctuations of shallow seas in low-lying Southeast Asia driven by mantle flow
Zahirovic, Sabin; Flament, Nicolas; Muller, R. Dietmar; Seton, Maria; Gurnis, MichaelPublished 2016-09-13The Sundaland continental promontory, as the core of Southeast Asia, is one of the lowest lying continental regions, with half of the continental area presently inundated by a shallow sea. The role of mantle convection in ...Open AccessArticle -
Melanesian back-arc basin and arc development: Constraints from the eastern Coral Sea
Seton, Maria; Mortimer, Nick; Williams, Simon; Quilty, Patrick; Gans, Phil; Meffre, Sebastien; Micklethwaite, Steven; Zahirovic, Sabin; Moore, Jarrod; Matthews, Kara JPublished 2016-11-01The eastern Coral Sea is a poorly explored area at the north-eastern corner of the Australian Tectonic Plate, where interaction between the Pacific and Australian plate boundaries, and accretion of the world's largest ...Open AccessArticle -
Post-Pangea global plate kinematics and geodynamic implications for Southeast Asia
Zahirovic, SabinPublished 2014-12-01Modern plate reconstructions, with evolving plate boundaries that document the breakup of Pangea hold vital clues for the factors affecting plate motions. Previous studies have evaluated the present-day plate arrangements ...USyd AccessThesis -
The role of deep Earth dynamics in driving the flooding and emergence of New Guinea since the Jurassic
Harrington, Lauren; Zahirovic, Sabin; Flament, Nicolas; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2017-12-01The paleogeography of New Guinea indicates fluctuating periods of flooding and emergence since the Jurassic, which are inconsistent with estimates of global sea level change since the Eocene. The role of deep Earth dynamics ...Open AccessArticle -
Sequestration and subduction of deep-sea carbonate in the global ocean since the Early Cretaceous
Dutkiewicz, Adriana; Cannon, John S.; Müller, Dietmar R.; Vaughan, Sioned; Zahirovic, SabinPublished 2019-01-01Deep-sea carbonate represents Earth's largest carbon sink and one of the least-known components of the long-term carbon cycle that is intimately linked to climate. By coupling the deep-sea carbonate sedimentation history ...Open AccessArticle -
Tectonic evolution and deep mantle structure of the eastern Tethys since the latest Jurassic
Zahirovic, Sabin; Matthews, Kara J; Flament, Nicolas; Muller, R. Dietmar; Hill, Kevin C; Seton, Maria; Gurnis, MichaellPublished 2016-11-01The breakup of Pangea in the Jurassic saw the opening of major ocean basins at the expense of older Tethyan and Pacific oceanic plates. Although the Tethyan seafloor spreading history has been lost to subduction, proxy ...Open AccessArticle
