Observations of Laboratory and Natural Slow Slip Events: Hikurangi Subduction Zone, New Zealand
Published 2020-02-01“…Here, we compile a comprehensive catalog of SSEs observed geodetically at the Hikurangi subduction zone offshore northern New Zealand, and compare it with results of laboratory friction experiments that produce laboratory SSEs under plate tectonic driving rates (5 cm/yr). We use samples from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1124 seaward of the Hikurangi subduction zone to represent the plate boundary that hosts shallow SSEs at Hikurangi. …”

The mechanics of continental deformation in Asia and California
Published 2004“…<p>The failure of plate tectonic theory to explain the deformation observed across continental plate boundary zones has led to the development of continuum models of lithospheric deformation in which the lithosphere is treated as a layer of viscous material governed by the equation for creeping viscous flow,</p><br/> <style> td.upper_line { border-top:solid 1px black; } table.fraction { text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; margin-top:0.5em; margin-bottom:0.5em; line-height: 2em; } </style> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="fraction"> <tr> <td>ϑσ<sub>ji</sub> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" rowspan="2">= ρ9<sub>i</sub></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="upper_line">ϑx<sub>j</sub></td> </tr> </table> <p>where the left hand side represents spatial gradients of stress that are balanced by differences in gravitational potential energy on the right hand side.…”

Pulsated Global Hydrogen and Methane Flux at Mid‐Ocean Ridges Driven by Pangea Breakup
Published 2020-04-01“…Here we present a model of the primary, abiotic production of molecular hydrogen from the serpentinization of oceanic lithosphere using full‐plate tectonic reconstructions for the last 200 Ma. We find significant variability in hydrogen fluxes (1–70 • 1016 mol/Ma or 0.2–14.1 • 105 Mt/Ma), which are a function of the sensitivity of evolving ocean basins to spreading rates and can be correlated with the opening of key ocean basins during the breakup of Pangea. …”

Evolutionary History and Taxonomic Reappraisal of Coral Reef Rabbitfishes (Siganidae): Patterns of Lineage Diversification and Speciation
Published 2021-10-01“…Subsequent diversification and origins of the majority of siganids may likely be associated with episodes of paleo-oceanographic events, including greenhouse and glaciation events (Eocene–Miocene) as well as major plate tectonic events (Pliocene–Pleistocene). Some modern siganid species may naturally hybridize with congeneric species where their geographical ranges overlap. …”

Boninites in the ~3.3 Ga Holenarsipur Greenstone Belt, Western Dharwar Craton, India
Published 2018-07-01“…It importantly indicates that the geodynamic process involved in the generation of Archean boninites, was perhaps not significantly different from the widely recognized two-stage melt generation process that produced the Phanerozoic boninites, and hence provides compelling evidence for the onset of Phanerozoic type plate tectonic processes by at least ~3.3 Ga, in the Earth’s evolutionary history.…”
