Major Australian-Antarctic Plate Reorganization at Hawaiian-Emperor Bend Time
Joanne M. Whittaker,Ralph Müller,German Leitchenkov,H. Stagg,M. Sdrolias,Carmen Gaina,Alexey Goncharov +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a marked bend in the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain supposedly resulted from a recent major reorganization of the plate-mantle system there 50 million years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
The breakup of East Gondwana: Assimilating constraints from Cretaceous ocean basins around India into a best‐fit tectonic model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors link East Gondwana spreading corridors by integrating magnetic and gravity anomaly data from the Enderby Basin off East Antarctica within a regional plate kinematic framework to identify a conjugate series of east-west-trending magnetic anomalies, M4 to M0.
Journal ArticleDOI
GlobSed: Updated total sediment thickness in the World’s oceans
Eivind Olavson Straume,Carmen Gaina,Sergei Medvedev,Katharina Hochmuth,Karsten Gohl,Joanne M. Whittaker,R. Abdul Fattah,J.C. Doornenbal,John R. Hopper +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new global 5 arc-minute total sediment thickness grid for the world's oceans and marginal seas is presented, GlobSed, which provides a much needed update of the sediment thickness distribution of the world oceans and delivers a model for sedimentation rates on oceanic crust through time that agrees well with selected drill data used for comparison.

Journal ArticleDOI
Constraining the Jurassic extent of Greater India: Tectonic evolution of the West Australian margin
Ana D. Gibbons,Udo Barckhausen,Paul van den Bogaard,Kaj Hoernle,Reinhard Werner,Joanne M. Whittaker,R. Dietmar Müller +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new model that is constrained by revised seafloor spreading anomalies, fracture zones and crustal ages based on drillsites/dredges from all the abyssal plains along the West Australian margin and the Wharton Basin.
