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 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 -
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 -
Oceanic microplate formation records the onset of India-Eurasia collision
Matthews, Kara J; Muller, R. Dietmar; Sandwell, David TPublished 2016-01-01Mapping of seafloor tectonic fabric in the Indian Ocean, using high-resolution satellite-derived vertical gravity gradient data, reveals an extinct Pacific-style oceanic microplate ('Mammerickx Microplate') west of the ...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
