DOI: 10.1002/2017je005365
Abstract: For large-angle long-term true polar wander (TPW) there are currently two types of nonlinear methods which give approximated solutions: those assuming that the rotational axis coincides with the axis of maximum moment of inertia (MoI),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2019.115835
Abstract: Abstract True polar wander (TPW) is the reorientation of the crust-mantle system driven by the redistribution of masses in the mantle and on the Earth's surface. In the ideal case, characterization of TPW requires paleomagnetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2017.04.019
Abstract: Many objects in the solar system are suspected to have experienced reorientation of their spin axes. As their rotation rates are slow and their shapes are nearly spherical, the formation of mass anomalies, by either… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pepi.2018.01.009
Abstract: Abstract The Cambrian true polar wander (TPW) hypothesis remains controversial largely because of the uncertainties in the quality and/or fidelity of the paleomagnetic data as well as their chronological control. Testing the TPW hypothesis requires… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl088364
Abstract: En echelon fissures 100–300 km long on Europa are found to be concentric and external to arcuate troughs previously attributed to true polar wander (TPW) of Europa's ice shell, strengthening the case for TPW. Fissures… read more here.
