Dynamic topography of passive continental margins and their hinterlands since the Cretaceous
Muller, R. Dietmar; Hassan, Rakib; Gurnis, Michael; Flament, Nicolas; Williams, Simon EPublished 2018-01-01Even though it is well accepted that the Earth's surface topography has been affected by mantle-convection induced dynamic topography, its magnitude and time-dependence remain controversial. The dynamic influence to ...Open AccessArticle -
Formation of Australian continental margin highlands driven by plate-mantle interaction
Muller, R. Dietmar; Flament, Nicolas; Matthews, Kara J; Williams, Simon E; Gurnis, MichaelPublished 2016-05-01Passive margin highlands occur on most continents on Earth and play a critical role in the cycle of weathering, erosion, and atmospheric circulation. Yet, in contrast to the well-developed understanding of collisional ...Article -
Global tectonic reconstructions with continuously deforming and evolving rigid plates
Gurnis, Michael; Yang, Ting; Cannon, John S; Turner, Mark; Williams, Simon E; Flament, Nicolas; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2018-07-01Traditional plate reconstruction methodologies do not allow for plate deformation to be considered. Here we present software to construct and visualize global tectonic reconstructions with deforming plates within the context ...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 -
Oceanic Residual Topography Agrees With Mantle Flow Predictions at Long Wavelengths
Yang, Ting; Moresi, Louis N; Muller, R. Dietmar; Gurnis, MichaelPublished 2017-11-16Dynamic topography, the surface deflection induced by sublithosheric mantle flow, is an important prediction made by geodynamic models, but there is an apparent disparity between geodynamic model predictions and estimates ...Open AccessArticle -
SPGM: A Scalable PaleoGeomorphology Model
Hassan, Rakib; Gurnis, Michael; Williams, Simon E.; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2018-01-01Numerical models of landscape evolution are playing an increasingly important role in providing an improved understanding of geomorphic transport processes shaping Earth's surface topography. Improving theoretical underpinnings ...Open AccessArticle
