New palaeogeographical reconstructions for the earlier Ordovician (480 Ma), and later
Ordovician (450 Ma) integrate revised longitude-calibrated palaeomagnetic reconstructions …

Sea levels shape the face of the Earth, define processes of sedimentation, and influence the
evolution of life via the distribution of habitats. Ancient topographies can be reconstructed …

Many aspects of deep-time Earth System models, including mantle convection,
paleoclimatology, paleobiogeography and the deep Earth carbon cycle, require high …

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM;~ 55.9 Ma) was a geologically rapid
warming period associated with carbon release, which caused a marked increase in the …

Detailed 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 …

The large Palaeozoic continent of Laurentia was largely in North America, but included parts
of modern Europe. It was independent from late Neoproterozoic times at about 570Ma until it …

The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …

Paleogeographic reconstructions are important to understand Earth's tectonic evolution, past
eustatic and regional sea level change, paleoclimate and ocean circulation, deep Earth …

From 1989 to 1994 a series of papers outlined evidence for a brief episode of climate
change from arid to humid, and then back to arid, during the Carnian Stage of the late …

Large-scale magmatic events like the emplacement of the North Atlantic Igneous Province
(NAIP) are often coincident with periods of extreme climate change such as the Palaeocene …
