DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2018.11.006
Abstract: Abstract The extent of continental rifts and subduction zones through deep geological time provides insights into the mechanisms behind supercontinent cycles and the long term evolution of the mantle. However, previous compilations have stopped short… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2017.04.011
Abstract: Abstract Just over 15 years ago, a proposal forwarded by Rogers and Santosh (2002) posited the existence of a pre-Rodinia supercontinent which they called Columbia. The conjecture invigorated research into the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic interval that was; in… read more here.

A synthetic geochemical and geochronological dataset of the Mesoproterozoic sediments along the southern margin of North China Craton: Unraveling a prolonged peripheral subduction involved in breakup of Supercontinent Columbia

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2021.106154
Abstract: Abstract Controversial issues on the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic tectonic setting of the southern margin of North China Craton (NCC) restricted our understanding of its role in breaking up the Columbia/Nuna Supercontinent. Existing models are still arguing on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g47823.1
Abstract: The Australia-Laurentia connection in the Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic supercontinent Nuna is thought to have initiated by ca. 1.6 Ga when both continents were locked in a proto-SWEAT (southwestern U.S.–East Antarctic) configuration. However, the longevity of… read more here.

A Neoarchean–Proterozoic Supercontinent (~2.8–0.9 Ga): An Alternative to the Model of Supercontinent Cycles

DOI: 10.1134/s1028334x18050045
Abstract: The model of supercontinent cycles is revisited on the basis of reevaluation of existing ideas on the geodynamics and tectonics of granulite gneiss belts and areals. Granulite-gneiss belts and areals of a regional scale correspond… read more here.
