Orogenic climax of Earth: The 1.2-1.1 Ga Grenvillian superevent
Published 2013“…When combined with other geological and geophysical observations, the data are interpreted as a consequence of an unprecedented level of crustal recycling and sediment subduction during Rodinia assembly, arising from a “Goldilocks” (i.e., just right) combination of larger, thicker plates on a warmer Earth with more rapid continental drift relative to modern Earth. The subsequent decrease in δ18O, Zr, and Th measurements is interpreted to reflect decreasing drift rates on a cooling Earth.…”

Paleogeographic forcing of the strontium isotopic cycle in the Neoproterozoic
Published 2017“…We show that the modulation of the weathering of the erupted large igneous provinces by continental drift explains the changes in seawater 87Sr/86Sr from 800 to 635 Ma. …”

Tectonic controls on sediment provenance evolution in rift basins: Detrital zircon U–Pb and Hf isotope analysis from the Perth Basin, Western Australia
Published 2019“…We use published zircon U–Pb and Hf isotope data from basin inception through to continental drift and complement this with new data from samples deposited synchronously with the continental breakup of eastern Gondwana. …”

Antarctica and supercontinent evolution: historical perspectives, recent advances and unresolved issues
Published 2013“…Correlations between Antarctica and other southern continents were critical to the concept of Gondwana, the Palaeozoic supercontinent used to support early arguments for continental drift, while evidence for Proterozoic connections between Antarctica and North America led to the ‘SWEAT’ configuration (linking SW USA to East Antarctica) for an early Neoproterozoic supercontinent known as Rodinia. …”

Genetic diversity of Gracilaria Changii and Gracilaria Edulis (Gracilariaceae,Rhodophyta) in Malaysian waters / Yow Yoon Yen
Published 2014“…Their genetic variation and phylogeographic distributions may have been affected differently by the Malaysian continental drift, and recent colonization events through artificial introductions or natural distributions. …”
