Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing Farallon Plate Subduction Beneath North America Back to the Late Cretaceous
TL;DR: Using an inverse mantle convection model that assimilates seismic structure and plate motions, the authors reconstructs Farallon plate subduction back to 100 million years ago using seismic images of the current mantle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plate tectonic reconstructions with continuously closing plates
Michael Gurnis,M. Turner,Sabin Zahirovic,Lydia DiCaprio,S. Spasojevic,R. Dietmar Müller,James A. Boyden,Maria Seton,Vlad Constantin Manea,Dan J. Bower +9 more
TL;DR: A ''continuously closed plate'' (CCP) is introduced, such that, as each margin moves independently, the plate polygon remains closed geometrically as a function of time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sea level and vertical motion of continents from dynamic earth models since the Late Cretaceous
S. Spasojevic,Michael Gurnis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid approach combines inverse and forward models of mantle convection and accounts for the principal contributors to long-term sea level change: the evolving distribution of ocean floor age, dynamic topography in oceanic and continental regions, and the geoid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adjoint models of mantle convection with seismic, plate motion, and stratigraphic constraints: North America since the Late Cretaceous
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply adjoint models of mantle convection to North America since the Late Cretaceous and infer values of average upper and lower mantle viscosities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The case for dynamic subsidence of the U.S. east coast since the Eocene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the dynamic subsidence of the United States east coast using the discrepancy between regional and global estimates of sea level, elevation of paleoshorelines, and adjoint models of mantle convection that assimilate plate motions and seismic tomography.
