Evolución del clima a través de la historia de la tierra
- Environmental Science
- 1969
In a natural way, the atmosphere –and therefore the climate- evolved together with the continent, the ocean, the interior Earth an all the other planetary components. This co-evolution was often via…
SCICEX Investigations of the Arctic Ocean System
- Environmental Science
- 2003
Abstract In 1993 the United States Navy and the marine research community embarked on an ambitious program to study the Arctic Ocean using nuclear-powered submarines. The program, termed SC ience IC…
Project Atlantis - An Exercise in the Application of Earth Science to a Critical Examination of a Pseudoscience Hypothesis
- Geology
- 2003
I ask my first-year physical geology students to write an essay examining the Crustal Displacement hypothesis (Flem-ath and Flem-ath, 1995), a hypothesis that is inconsistent with the accepted…
Mantle plume and rift-related volcanism during the evolution of the Rio Grande Rise
- GeologyCommunications Earth & Environment
- 2022
The Rio Grande Rise in the western South Atlantic Ocean has been interpreted as either an oceanic plateau related to the Tristan-Gough mantle plume, or a fragment of detached continental crust. Here…
Mantle geodynamics and source domain of the East Vietnam Sea opening- induced volcanism in Vietnam and neighboring regions
- Geology
- 2021
The spreading of the East Vietnam Sea (EVS, also known as Bien Dong, or the South China Sea), leading to the occurrence of syn-spreading (33-16 Ma) and post-spreading (< 16 to present) volcanism.…
Tectonic evolution and geodynamics of the Neo-Tethys Ocean
- Environmental Science, GeologyScience China Earth Sciences
- 2021
The Neo-Tethys Ocean was an eastward-gaping triangular oceanic embayment between Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. The Neo-Tethys Ocean was initiated from the Early Permian with…
Constraining the Range and Variation of Lithospheric Net Rotation Using Geodynamic Modeling
- GeologyJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth
- 2021
Lithospheric net rotation (LNR) is the movement of the lithosphere as a solid body with respect to the mantle. Separating the signal of LNR from plate tectonic motion is therefore an important factor…
Origin, Accretion, and Reworking of Continents
- GeologyReviews of Geophysics
- 2021
The continental crust is unique to the Earth in the solar system, and controversies remain regarding its origin, accretion and reworking of continents. The plate tectonics theory has been…
The supercontinent cycle
- Geology, PhysicsNature Reviews Earth & Environment
- 2021
Supercontinents signify self-organization in plate tectonics. Over the past ~2 billion years, three major supercontinents have been identified, with increasing age: Pangaea, Rodinia and Columbia. In…
