Tectonic History and Climate Impact of the Tasmanian Gateway Opening

Geophysical Monograph Series Volume 151 presents research on the tectonic history and climatic impact of the Tasmanian Gateway opening. The volume contains 344 pages of new research and interpretations on geological phases from the Late Cretaceous to the Neogene. It was published in 2004 by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling changes in ocean circulation based on the history of the Tasmanian Gateway opening described in the volume.
• Studying Antarctic glacial development and global climate changes over the last 33 million years based on the research interpretations.
• Analyzing Neogene development of the Southern Ocean based on stable isotopic sequences discussed.
• Investigating the interplay of tectonics, subsidence, and sea level fluctuations during the breakup of East Gondwana.
• Conducting Cenozoic marine biostratigraphic and biogeographic development research in the Antarctic-Subantarctic region.

Strengths

• Volume contains 344 pages of compiled research.
• Focuses on a specific, key geological region (Tasmanian Gateway) over a long temporal scale (Cretaceous to Neogene).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
