[HTML][HTML] A dynamic 2000—540 Ma Earth history: From cratonic amalgamation to the age of supercontinent cycle
Establishing how tectonic plates have moved since deep time is essential for understanding
how Earth's geodynamic system has evolved and operates, thus answering longstanding …

Plate tectonics and the Archean Earth
If we accept that a critical condition for plate tectonics is the creation and maintenance of a
global network of narrow boundaries separating multiple plates, then to argue for plate …

A full-plate global reconstruction of the Neoproterozoic
Neoproterozoic tectonic geography was dominated by the formation of the supercontinent
Rodinia, its break-up and the subsequent amalgamation of Gondwana. The Neoproterozoic …

Secular change in metamorphism and the onset of global plate tectonics
On the contemporary Earth, distinct plate tectonic settings are characterized by differences in
heat flow that are recorded in metamorphic rocks as differences in apparent thermal …

How Large Igneous Provinces affect global climate, sometimes cause mass extinctions, and represent natural markers in the geological record
Abstract Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) can have a significant global climatic effect as
monitored by sedimentary trace and isotopic compositions that record paleo …

[HTML][HTML] Linking collisional and accretionary orogens during Rodinia assembly and breakup: Implications for models of supercontinent cycles
Periodic assembly and dispersal of continental fragments has been a characteristic of the
solid Earth for much of its history. Geodynamic drivers of this cyclic activity are inferred to be …
