Tectonic Interaction: Northern Melanesian Arc and Ontong Java Plateau (20-0 Ma)

Dive into the dynamic plate interactions between Northern Melanesian Arc and Ontong Java Plateau through an insightful plate animation. This research by Paul Mann and Lisa Gahagan from the Institute for Geophysics, University of Texas at Austin, is based on key references, including Australia-Antarctica motion by Marks et al. (1999) and Pacific-Antarctica motion by Cande et al. (1995). Explore Woodlark basin opening by Lee and Lawver (1995) and North Fiji basin opening along with Fiji and Vanuatu rotation by Yan and Kroenke (1993).
