DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2016.12.036
Abstract: Abstract The impact that long-term changes in Earth's rotation axis relative to the surface geography, or true polar wander (TPW), and continental drift have had in driving cooling of high-latitude North America since the Eocene… 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: 10.1029/2020gl088364
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.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl103343
Abstract: The drift history of the Lhasa terrane is crucial for understanding the tectonic evolution of Tethyan Oceans and Jurassic true polar wander. However, high‐quality Middle Jurassic paleomagnetic data from the Lhasa terrane are limited in… read more here.
