We use four-dimensional analogue laboratory experiments of Asian deformation, as they allow us for the first time to integrate several geodynamic processes including continental indentation, subduction rollback, mantle flow and continental gravitational spreading on a very large spatial scale. The experimen...
For instance, “_USGS” after the river name denotes the use of a global bedrock map, whereas “_HR” refers to regional maps (North American, South America, SE Asia, Europe) of higher spatial resolution. An asterisk following a river name refers to analysis done using bedrock maps of ...
Fig. 1: Location and physical characteristics of great escarpments. Global terrain maps for ocean and land (gridded data from GEBCO) of the east coast of Brazil (a), Southern Africa (b) and the Western Ghats (Sahyadri Hills), India (c) (see inset map for locations). The maps show a...
The central longitude of this map is 160°E. Locality names referred to in the main text are shown. In spite of more than 1500 data from the continental regions have been newly added to the existing oceanic and arc data set (Iwamori et al. (2010) for oceanic basalts; Iwamori and ...
The North China Craton (NCC) has had a long geological history back to ca. 3.8 Ga ago. In the Anshan area, northeastern part of the craton, three distinct complexes with ages of 3.8–3.1 Ga (Baijiafen, Dongshan, and Shengousi) have been identified,...
Comparison of prospective storage resource regions for selected global localities at the same map scale (1:15,000,000). The footprint of the Utsira sandstone formation (North Sea) utilized for GCS since 1996 is indicated in the solid black outline and represents the size of a typical regional...
Here we outline the genesis of Seamap Australia, which integrates spatial data of the seabed of Australia’s continental shelf (0–200 m depth) from multiple sources to provide a single national map layer of marine habitat. It is underpinned by a hierarchical classification scheme with registere...
We thank Ana Maria Mingot Soriano for helping us set up the laser particle size analyzer experiment. We thank Martin Bolinder, Magnus Simonsson, Jon-Petter Gustafsson, Rota Wagai and Claire Chenu for their valuable comments on this work. JF thanks the Heiwa Nakajima Foundation for providing a ...

Fire can induce long-lived changes to land-surface albedo, an important aspect of the Earth’s energy budget, but the temporal evolution of these anomalies is poorly understood. Due to the widespread presence of fire in Africa, this represents uncertaint
