Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "International Journal of Earth Sciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s00531-020-01878-w
Abstract: The SW Iberian margin is an oblique passive margin developed during the Mesozoic, as part of the opening of the westernmost Ligurian Tethys. The Algarve Basin developed on the SW Iberian margin and its sedimentary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2019.115759
Abstract: Abstract Elevations of Pleistocene highstand formations that lie across the South Carolina and northern Georgia coastal plain lie well above those of reconstructed past sea levels. This discrepancy has been attributed to some combination of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsames.2020.102965
Abstract: Abstract The Ventana Ranges and the neighboring Claromeco basin display multiple extensional and compressional tectonic events throughout their Phanerozoic evolution. A passive continental margin setting during the early Paleozoic changed to a compressional system in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2019.105345
Abstract: Abstract Metamorphic rocks derived from mafic rocks can be found in metamorphic belts, and their geochemical and isotopic characteristics may be valuable sources of information for interpretation of ancient geologic magmatic scenarios. The southern Brasilia… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.sedgeo.2020.105823
Abstract: Abstract Collisional orogens are one of the most conspicuous features of plate tectonics on Earth. They record the dynamics of continent-continent amalgamation, often confined to linear deformational belts. The Southern Brasilia Orogen is one of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2019.228222
Abstract: Abstract The southeastern coast of South America is an example of the complexity of passive continental margins, as it displays both high- and low-elevation segments despite sharing a similar pre-rift geological history and structural configuration.… read more here.

Origin of ocean island basalts in the West African passive margin without mantle plume involvement

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-10832-7
Abstract: The geochemical variabilities in intraplate basalts (IB) from the West African passive margin (WAPM) region, have generally been employed to indicate the presence of recycled materials in an associated upwelling mantle plume. However, the absence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g48836.1
Abstract: The topography in Scandinavia features enigmatic high-elevation low-relief plateau regions dissected by deep valleys and fjords. These plateau regions have long been interpreted as relict landforms of a preglacial origin, whereas recent studies suggest they… read more here.
