Brief description The Subduction Reference Framework: unravelling the causes of long-term sea-level change. Long-term global sea level fluctuations have been a driving force of biogeography, climate change and organic evolution. We will assimilate images of subducted tectonic plates in the Earth's mantle into geodynamic models to establish a novel Subduction Reference Frame for the past 200 million years. This will form the basis for unravelling the effects of subduction on surface topography and sea-level change. The project outcomes will include predictive models of sedimentation and erosion in continental interiors, and will transform knowledge about the nature and magnitude of natural planetary change.
