Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in
large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years …

Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and
reequilibrate with Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth's …

We present a narrative of the eruptive events culminating in the cataclysmic January 15,
2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Volcano by synthesizing diverse preliminary …

Subducted sediments play an important role in arc magmatism and crust–mantle recycling.
Models of continental growth, continental composition, convergent margin magmatism and …

A plate tectonic model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW
Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed. The model is accompanied by …

A number of tectonic events occurred contemporaneously in the Mediterranean region and
the Middle East 30–25 Myr ago. These events are contemporaneous to or immediately …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

In recent years, the origin of the Betic‐Rif orocline has been the subject of considerable
debate. Much of this debate has focused on mechanisms required to generate rapid late …

In this paper we present a global model (GSRM-1) of both horizontal velocities on the Earth's
surface and horizontal strain rates for almost all deforming plate boundary zones. A model …

Magnetotelluric exploration has shown that the middle and lower crust is anomalously
conductive across most of the north-to-south width of the Tibetan plateau. The integrated …
