Journal ArticleDOI
Age, spreading rates, and spreading asymmetry of the world's ocean crust
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a digital model of the age, spreading rate, and asymmetry at each grid node by linear interpolation between adjacent seafloor isochrons in the direction of spreading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Sea-Level Fluctuations Driven by Ocean Basin Dynamics
TL;DR: A mantle convection model is used to suggest that New Jersey subsided by 105 to 180 meters in the past 70 million years because of North America's westward passage over the subducted Farallon plate, which reconciles New Jersey margin–based sea-level estimates with ocean basin reconstructions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catastrophic initiation of subduction following forced convergence across fracture zones
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a visco-elastoplastic model to show that a fracture zone could be converted into a self-sustaining subduction zone after approximately 100 km of convergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls on back-arc basin formation
M. Sdrolias,R. Dietmar Müller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the kinematic controls on subduction and back-arc basins for both the present-day and Cenozoic to differentiate between the major competing hypotheses for backarc basin formation and to explain their temporal and spatial distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
