Geodynamic reconstruction of an accreted Cretaceous back-arc basin in the Northern Andes
Braz, Carmen; Seton, Maria; Flament, Nicolas; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2018-09-05A complex history of subduction, back-arc basin formation, terrane accretion and transpressional shearing characterizes the evolution of the Caribbean and northern South American margin since Jurassic times. Quantitative ...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 -
The GPlates Portal: Cloud-Based Interactive 3D Visualization of Global Geophysical and Geological Data in a Web Browser
Muller, R. Dietmar; Qin, Xiaodong; Sandwell, David T; Dutkiewicz, Adriana; Williams, Simon E; Flament, Nicolas; Maus, Stefan; Seton, MariaPublished 2016-03-03The pace of scientific discovery is being transformed by the availability of 'big data' and open access, open source software tools. These innovations open up new avenues for how scientists communicate and share data 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 -
The Late Cretaceous to recent tectonic history of the Pacific Ocean basin
Wright, Nicky M; Seton, Maria; Williams, Simon E; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2016-03-01A vast ocean basin has spanned the region between the Americas, Asia and Australasia for well over 100 Myr, represented today by the Pacific Ocean. Its evolution includes a number of plate fragmentation and plate capture ...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 -
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 -
Tectonic evolution of Western Tethys from Jurassic to present day: coupling geological and geophysical data with seismic tomography models
Hosseinpour, Maral; Williams, Simon; Seton, Maria; Barnett-Moore, Nicholas; Muller, R. DietmarPublished 2016-10-02The geodynamic evolution of the Western Tethys is characterized by multiple phases of rifting, seafloor spreading, subduction, and collisional events. Regional reconstructions are highly dependent on the kinematic history ...Open AccessArticle
