The Siberian Connection: A case for Precambrian separation of the North American and Siberian cratons
James W. Sears,Raymond A. Price +1 more
TL;DR: The Siberian platform as mentioned in this paper is a large, discrete, older Precambrian craton, lodged in northeast Asia and surrounded by younger fold belts, and the outline of its northeast margin fits the southwest margin of the North American precampledge to produce a congruence of tectonic grain and age provinces.
Journal ArticleDOI
New look at the Siberian connection: No SWEAT
James W. Sears,Raymond A. Price +1 more
TL;DR: The Proterozoic connection between northeastern Siberia and western Laurentia is strongly supported by several new lines of evidence as discussed by the authors, including new age data and refined structural trends in predrift basement rocks improving the resolution of the fit between the cratons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tightening the Siberian connection to western Laurentia
James W. Sears,Raymond A. Price +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Proterozoic connection between the rifted margins of the northern Siberian craton and western Laurentia, and permit a Siberia-Laurentia-Australia troika, with northern Australia connected to the southern margin of the Russian craton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and U-Pb geochronological evidence for 1.47 Ga rifting in the Belt basin, western Montana
TL;DR: In this article, structural mapping and U-Pb dates from mafic sills in the Perma culmination of west-central Montana constrain the timing of a major rifting event in the early history of the Belt basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Describing the users: Understanding adoption of and interest in shared, electrified, and automated transportation in the San Francisco Bay Area
C. Anna Spurlock,James W. Sears,Gabrielle Wong-Parodi,Victor Walker,Ling Jin,Margaret R. Taylor,Andrew Duvall,Anand Gopal,Annika Todd +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of San Francisco Bay Area residents was conducted to analyze adoption patterns for shared mobility, electrified vehicle technologies, and vehicle automation, finding that ride-hailing and adaptive cruise control have penetrated the market more extensively than have electrified vehicles or car-sharing services.
