Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document this Atlas of Underworld, also accessible online at www.atlas-of-the-underworld.org, a compilation comprising subduction systems active in past ~ 300 Myr. Deeper are correlated to older records, assuming no relative horizontal motions between adjacent following break-off, using knowledge global plate circuits, but without...
Climate trends on timescales of 10s to 100s millions years are controlled by changes in solar luminosity, continent distribution, and atmosphere composition. Plate tectonics affect geography, but also composition through volcanic degassing CO2 at subduction zones midocean ridges. So far, such estimates were based reconstructions ocean floor production for the last 150 My indirectly, sea level inversion before My. Here we quantitatively estimate reconstructing lithosphere evolution, using...
Global mean sea level is a key component within the fields of climate and oceanographic modelling in Anthropocene. Hence, an improved understanding eustatic deep time aids our Earth's paleoclimate may help predict future climatological changes. However, long-term reconstructions are hampered because ambiguity stratigraphic interpretations rock record limitations plate tectonic modelling. Hence amplitude timescales Phanerozoic eustasy remains poorly constrained. A novel, independent method...
The Pyrenees at the Iberia–Europe collision zone contain sediments showing Albian–Cenomanian high-temperature metamorphism, and coeval alkaline magmatic rocks. Stemming from different views on Jurassic–Cretaceous Iberian microplate kinematics, two schools of thought exist trigger this thermal pulse: one invoking hyperextension Eurasian margins, other suggesting slab break-off. Competing scenarios for Mesozoic motion compatible with Pyrenean geology, comprise (1) transtensional eastward...
Abstract The dynamics of slab detachment and associated geological fingerprints have been inferred from various numerical analog models. These invariably use a setup with slab‐pull‐driven convergence in which detaches below mantle‐stationary trench after the arrest plate due to arrival continental lithosphere. In contrast, reconstructions show that post‐detachment is common trenches sutures are rarely during detachment. Here, we identify more realistic kinematic context using example...
Abstract In their recent paper, Barnett‐Moore et al. (2016) reflect on current models of Iberian plate motion in the Jurassic and Cretaceous as well ongoing debates reliability various types kinematic data that form independent constraints Iberia's relative to Eurasia. They question validity marine geophysical, seismic, tomographic, geological, paleomagnetic sets from Bay Biscay, Central Atlantic Ocean, Iberia for reconstruction conclude neither invoking Aptian‐Albian transtension, nor...
Abstract The Paleozoic Dniepr-Donets Basin in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia forms a major hydrocarbon province. Although well- seismic data have established 20 km thick stratigraphy, field-studies of its sediments are scarce. inverted Donbas segment (Ukraine) exposes the middle Carboniferous part basin's stratigraphy. Here, we provide detailed sedimentological from 13 sections that cover 1.5 total 5 Bashkirian Moscovian stages assess paleoenvironment paleo-current directions. Middle deposition...
