Abstract:

A new model of plate kinematics in the Scotia Sea region is presented in which continental crustal blocks and the signatures of seafloor spreading are defined semi-automatically using gravity and total field magnetic anomalies and some of their residuals, transformations and derivatives. This study is the first of the region to integrate gridded magnetic and gravity data in order to make reconstructions, and one of the first anywhere to make full use of gridded magnetic data in an inverse procedure. The context provided by the quantitative reconstructions allows qualitative assessment of visua

Abstract:

Modern plate reconstructions, with evolving plate boundaries that document the breakup of Pangea hold vital clues for the factors affecting plate motions. Previous studies have evaluated the present-day plate arrangements and velocities, and therefore cannot capture the inherent plate behaviour over deep geological time. A handful of studies have used plate reconstructions to alleviate these temporal shortcomings, but have been limited by the small number of plate reconstruction timesteps, leading to conflicting suggestions that continents may both inhibit or promote fast plate motions.

Abstract:

We provide a realistic assessment of the uncertainties associated with plate reconstructions by creating empirical probability density functions (PDFs) for rotations between plate pairs based upon uncertainties in the positions of observed fracture zone and magnetic anomaly crossings. We determine the PDF for a sequence of rotations through Monte Carlo sampling of the PDFs for these plate pairs. We assign confidence limits within PDFs and find that worst-case uncertainty regions for global reconstruction poles can be twice as large as 95% confidence regions. We illustrate our technique with th

In North Canterbury, on the SE edge of the New Zealand plate boundary zone, deformation in late Cretaceous and younger cover rocks is complex. Detailed mapping of the cover sequence (which is about 1 km. thick), has revealed a pattern of synchronous faulting and folding about orthogonal E-ESE and N-NNE orientations younger than early Pleistocene. Complex and irregular basin and dome fold interference patterns are defined by distinctive limestone marker horizons, and partial star, triangular and corrugated hose fold surface geometries (defined by structure contours) are common.

Abstract:

Plate tectonic reconstructions traditionally use a combination of palaeomagnetic and geological data to model the changing positions of continents throughout Earth history. Plate reconstructions are particularly useful because they provide a framework for testing a range of hypotheses pertaining to climate, seawater chemistry, evolutionary patterns and the relationship between mantle and surface. During the Mesozoic and Cenozoic these are underpinned by data from the ocean basins that preserve relative plate motions, and data from hotspot chains and tomographic imaging of subducted slabs withi

Abstract:

Tectonic structures on the seafloor preserve a wealth of information on seafloor spreading and plate boundary evolution, and reveal that long intervals of uniform plate motions are punctuated by episodes of relatively rapid change. These plate reorganisation events are recurrent in Earth’s history and form an integral component of plate tectonics, yet the driving mechanisms and effects of major events are insufficiently understood. In this thesis I undertake global and regional-scale investigations of plate boundary reorganisation events to better understand their geologic and kinematic conseq

After, it is presented a theory to evaluate the error in the discretization and the kinematical hypothesis. It is shown that the implemented error in discretization techn

Background: Training to increase muscular power is essential for improving athletic performance in most sports. Weight training (WT) is a common means for training muscular power. Another modality, flywheel resistance training (FRT), may be superior for improving muscular power. However, few studies have examined if FRT is kinematically similar to WT, or if FRT kinematics change with increasing inertial load. The purposes of this study were to determine how sagittal plane joint kinematics are affected by increasing inertial load during FRT squats, and to determine how FRT squat joint kinematic
