Florida’s Geologic History by Kyle W. Bostick, Shelly A. Johnson, Martin B. Main

“…This document described the 3 primary processes that created Florida as we know it today: 1) plate tectonics (>160 million years ago), 2) carbonate production (160 - 23 million years ago), and 3) siliciclastic invasion (23 million years ago – present).  …”

The Coral-Rich Devonian Limestones of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark by Malcolm Hart, Christopher Smart

“…Formed in the tropical seas of the Middle Devonian, 10°S of the Equator, they also demonstrate the history of Devon in terms of Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics. Caves in these limestones provide an important record of both marine and terrestrial Pleistocene history, including some important hominin remains.…”

Jean Aubouin et les chaînes de montagnes : des observations aux synthèses. L’itinéraire scientifique d’un géologue au rayonnement international by Ferrière, Jacky, Faure, Michel

“…After an attempt to decipher the main operating rules of orogens, the emergence of Plate Tectonics theory led Jean Aubouin to turn to the Oceans without neglecting the continents, party carried out by its first and second generation “pupils”. …”

2-D numerical experiments of thermal convection of highly viscous fluids under strong adiabatic compression: implications on mantle convection of super-Earths with various sizes by Masanori Kameyama

“…Our scaling relationships suggest that the stress level in the top cold thermal boundary layers is almost independent of the planetary mass, which may further imply that the emergence of plate tectonics is not likely to be enhanced for massive terrestrial planets whose composition is similar to the Earth’s. …”

$\mbox {}^{40}$Ar/$\mbox {}^{39}$Ar geochronology of crustal deformation by Monié, Patrick, Münch, Philippe, Milesi, Gaétan, Bonno, Michael, Iemmolo, Arthur

“…Crustal deformation is characterized by brittle and ductile faults that accommodate at different scales the strain imposed by plate tectonics. The aim of this contribution is to show with the help of different examples how the in situ $\mbox {}^{40}$Ar/$\mbox {}^{39}$Ar dating of synkinematic neocrystallized minerals in ductile shear zones and the step-heating $\mbox {}^{40}$Ar/$\mbox {}^{39}$Ar dating of synkinematic authigenic clays in fault gouges can bring information on the timing of fault activity. …”

Biogeographic Insights Into the Late Miocene Diversification of the Giant Deep‐Ocean Amphipod Eurythenes by Carolina E. González, Johanna N. J. Weston, Reinaldo Rivera, Marcelo Oliva, Rubén Escribano, Osvaldo Ulloa

“…Our findings highlight the importance of historical events, such as plate tectonics and changes in deep‐water circulation, in driving the rapid speciation of Eurythenes and underscore their essential role in shaping deep‐ocean biodiversity.…”

Interior Convection Regime, Host Star Luminosity, and Predicted Atmospheric CO2 Abundance in Terrestrial Exoplanets by Antonin Affholder, Stéphane Mazevet, Boris Sauterey, Dániel Apai, Régis Ferrière

“…Earth's long-term habitability may have been tied to the geological carbon cycle, a process critically facilitated by plate tectonics. In the modern Earth, plate motion corresponds to a mantle convection regime called mobile lid. …”

Crustal and Upper Mantle Structure of the Assam Valley Region, NE India: A Review of Geophysical Findings by Ilya Lozovsky, Ivan Varentsov, Devesh Walia

“…The northeastern region of India is one of the six most seismically active convergent plate tectonic areas in the world. The north–south convergence along the Indo-Tibetan Himalayan Ranges and the east–west subduction within the Indo-Burma Ranges create a complex stress regime, resulting in significant seismic activity and a history of great/large earthquakes. …”

Longyearbyen CO2 lab project—from a vision of a CO2-neutral Svalbard to a geoscience data eldorado by Kim Senger, Peter Betlem, Alvar Braathen, Snorre Olaussen, Gunnar Sand

“…The data were also key to the characterization of fluid flow and geothermal potential in Svalbard, deciphering past climatic changes, unravelling past tectonic events, some of relevance for understanding the plate tectonic evolution of the Arctic, as well as updating the global geological timescale. …”
