Andrew Merdith is a computational Earth scientist whose research focuses on Neoproterozoic plate tectonic reconstructions and the supercontinent cycle. He co-developed the first full tectonic plate reconstruction of the last billion years.
Duration of Sturtian 'Snowball Earth' glaciation linked to exceptionally low mid-ocean ridge outgassing
Exceptionally low mid-ocean ridge CO2 outgassing sustained the Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation for over 50 million years.
Global Hydrogen Production During High-Pressure Serpentinization of Subducting Slabs
Quantifying global hydrogen production from high-pressure serpentinisation of subducting slabs over the last 5 million years.
Deep time spatio-temporal data analysis using pyGPlates with PlateTectonicTools and GPlately
GPlately: a Python interface for deep-time spatio-temporal data analysis using pyGPlates, simplifying plate tectonic reconstructions.
Evolution of Earth’s tectonic carbon conveyor belt
Reconstructing the oceanic carbon conveyor belt over 250 million years reveals plate tectonics as a pivotal driver of Mesozoic climate change.
