Earth's long-term sea-level history is characterized by widespread continental flooding in the Cretaceous period (∼145 to 65 million years ago), followed gradual regression of inland seas. However, published estimates Late high differ half an order magnitude, from ∼40 ∼250 meters above present level. The low estimate based on stratigraphy New Jersey margin. By assimilating marine geophysical data into reconstructions ancient ocean basins, we model a sea level that 170 (85 270) higher than it...
Abstract Global deep‐time plate motion models have traditionally followed a classical rigid approach, even though deformation is known to be significant. Here we present global Mesozoic–Cenozoic deforming model that captures the progressive extension of all continental margins since initiation rifting within Pangea at ~240 Ma. The also includes major failed rifts and compressional along collision zones. outlines timing regional episodes are reconstructed from wealth published tectonic...
Abstract. The South Atlantic rift basin evolved as a branch of large Jurassic–Cretaceous intraplate zone between the African and American plates during final break-up western Gondwana. While relative motions America Africa for post-break-up times are well resolved, many issues pertaining to fit reconstruction particularly relation kinematics lithosphere dynamics pre-break-up remain unclear in currently published plate models. We have compiled assimilated data from these intraplated rifts...
When continents break apart, continental crust and lithosphere are thinned until break-up is achieved an oceanic basin formed. The most remarkable least understood structures associated with this process up to 200 km wide areas of hyper-extended crust, which partitioned between conjugate margins pronounced asymmetry. Here we show, using high-resolution thermo-mechanical modelling, that margin asymmetry produced by steady state rift migration. We demonstrate migration accomplished sequential,...
Abstract The Cretaceous breakup of Gondwana strongly modified the global distribution shallow tropical seas reshaping geographic configuration marine basins. However, links between reef availability, plate tectonic processes and biodiversity patterns are still unknown. Here, we show that a spatial diversification model constrained by absolute motions for past 140 million years predicts emergence movement diversity hotspots on reefs. dynamics reefs explains fauna in Tethyan Ocean during early...

Coral bleaching events threaten coral reef habitats globally and cause severe declines of local biodiversity productivity. Related to high sea surface temperatures (SST), are expected increase as a consequence future global warming. However, response climate change is still uncertain low-latitude climatic conditions have no present-day analogue. Sea during the Eocene epoch were warmer than forecasted changes for coming century, distributions corals may help inform models forecasting reefs....
Abstract Continental microplates are enigmatic plate boundary features, which can occur in extensional and compressional regimes. Here we focus on microplate formation their temporal evolution continental rift settings. To this aim, employ the geodynamic finite element software ASPECT to conduct 3D lithospheric‐scale numerical models from inception breakup. We find that depending strike‐perpendicular offset crustal strength, segments connect or interact through one of four regimes: (1) an...
Abstract The Argo and Gascoyne Abyssal plains in the easternmost Indian Ocean document last stages of eastern Tethys evolution before breakup Gondwana. Thus they provide crucial information not only for modelling Proto-Indian Ocean, but also to understand complex geodynamic history North West Shelf. We have revisited marine magnetic anomaly record Plains combination with other geological geophysical data from Shelf southeast Asia. Based on combined data, we created a revised plate-tectonic...

Accordingly, resulting lithospheric-scale density model consistent (i) reviewed descriptions lithological variations in...
In this article we define a finite-element method for elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) on curves or surfaces, which are given implicitly by some level set function. The is specially designed complicated surfaces. key idea to solve the PDE narrow band around surface. width of proportional grid size. We use spaces that unfitted band, so elements cut off. implementation nevertheless easy. prove error estimates optimal order Poisson equation surface and provide numerical tests examples.
Abstract Aim The importance of quantifying the contribution historical processes in shaping current biodiversity patterns is now recognized, but quantitative approaches that explicitly link speciation, extinction and dispersal to palaeo‐environmental changes are currently lacking. Here, we propose a spatial diversification model lineages through time (SPLIT) based on reconstruction palaeo‐environments. We illustrate our approach using mangroves as case study evaluate whether habitat caused...
The geology of the earth has shown profound changes in position, connectivity and topography continents during last 100 Myr, which could have shaped diversification lineages thus current distribution biodiversity. Here, we evaluate association between plate tectonics location hotspots endemic richness across globe. We used palaeogeographies a model that quantifies, through time for each geographic cell, potential dispersal disconnected habitat areas. expected rare events barriers unsuitable...
