Abstract The origin of the passive margin forming paleo-Pacific western edge ancestral North American continent (Laurentia) constrains breakup Rodinia and sets stage for Phanerozoic evolution Laurentia. Windermere Supergroup in southern Canadian Cordillera records rift-to-drift sedimentation form a prograding continental deposited between ~730 570 Ma. New U-Pb detrital zircon analysis from samp...

The author has chosen a very important topic which definitely needs further thorough study. In this manuscript, a simple 2-D model of the passive continental margin is applied to simulate processes in the tectonically active environment of the Russian Arctic Shelves. The developed model considers a single latitudinal cross-section, employs greatly simplified physics assumptions and is eventuall...

Many studies highlight that fish trawling activities cause seafloor erosion, but the assessment of the remobilization of surface sediments and its relocation is still not well documented. These impacts were examined along the flanks and axes of three headless submarine canyons incised on the Barcelona continental margin, where trawling fleets have been operating for decades. Trawled grounds alo...

The main factors of the developmental environment of marine source rocks in continental margin basins have their specificality. This realization, in return, has led to the recognition that the developmental environment and pattern of marine source rocks, especially for the source rocks in continental margin basins, are still controversial or poorly understood. Through the analysis of the trace ...

[1] Here we show that labile particulate iron andmanganese concentrations in the upper 500 m of the Western Subarctic Pacific, an iron-limited High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) region, have prominent subsurface maxima between 100–200 m, reaching 3 nM and 600 pM, respectively. The subsurface concentration maxima in particulate Fe are characterized by a more reduced oxidation state, suggesting...

[1] A first‐order process in the growth of continents is the collision and accretion of terranes against continental margins. Collision leads to the formation of a suture zone between the accreted terrane and the former continental margin. New insights on the suturing process are observed from two receiver function transects across the Mesozoic Alaska Range suture zone. Three distinct crustal s...
