Tectonic speed limits from plate kinematic reconstructions (2015, background): “Plate velocities in the geological past rely on well-constrained relative plate motions from magnetic anomaly identifications, as well as plate circuits that link relative plate motions to an absolute reference frame (see Torsvik et al., 2008).”
Thermal versus elastic heterogeneity in high‐resolution mantle circulation models with pyrolite composition: High plume excess temperatures in the lowermost mantle (2009, background): “Efforts are currently underway to extend models of past plate motions further back in time [Torsvik et al., 2008], and to explore adjoint techniques in geodynamic simulations to better constrain the temporal evolution of the mantle [Bunge et al., 2003; Ismail-Zadeh et al., 2004, 2007; Liu and…”
Kinematics of the South Atlantic rift (2013, methodology): “2.1 Absolute plate motion model and timescale140 The plate kinematic model is built on a hybrid absolute plate motion model with a moving hotspot reference frame back to 100 Ma and an adjusted paleomagnetic absolute reference frame for times before 100 Ma (Torsvik et al., 2008).”
Constraints on lithosphere net rotation and asthenospheric viscosity from global mantle flow models and seismic anisotropy (2010, methodology): “A similar approach has also been used for a global compilation of hot spots linked via a mantle flow model [Torsvik et al., 2008, 2010].”
Dynamics and evolution of the deep mantle resulting from thermal, chemical, phase and melting effects (2012, background): “last few 100 s Ma (Burke and Torsvik, 2004; Thorne et al., 2004; Torsvik et al., 2006; Burke et al., 2008; Torsvik et al., 2008), and there has even”
The solid Earth’s influence on sea level (2013, background): “…cation of the complexity of large-scale mantle fl ow, but it is one that is supported by evidence that the major mantle upwelling structures beneath Africa and the South Pacifi c remain relatively stationary with time (Dziewonski et al., 2010; Li and Zhong, 2009; Torsvik et al., 2008a, 2008b).”
GPlates: Building a Virtual Earth Through Deep Time (2018, background): “For continental regions, the outline of present-day continental crust is supplied (Müller, Seton, et al., 2016), as well as the paleomagnetic virtual geomagnetic poles (VGP) for the major continental blocks (Torsvik et al., 2008).”
Greater India Basin hypothesis and a two-stage Cenozoic collision between India and Asia (2012, methodology): “The global synthetic APWP (3) did not include the minor changes in the Indo-Atlantic plate circuit of van Hinsbergen et al.”
A geodynamic model of plumes from the margins of Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (2012, background): “…only start forming after subduction is initiated, with their margins initially moving rapidly, whereas reconstructing LIPs to their paleo‐position indicates the thermo‐chemical domes have not moved much since 200 Ma [Torsvik et al., 2006] or even longer [Burke et al., 2008; Torsvik et al., 2010].”
