Fifty years ago, Tuzo Wilson published his paper asking `Did the Atlantic close and then re-open?’. This led to the `Wilson Cycle’ concept in which the repeated opening and closing of ocean basins along old orogenic belts is a key process in the assembly and breakup of supercontinents. The Wilson Cycle underlies much of what we know about the geological evolution of the Earth and its lithosphere, and will no doubt continue to be developed as we gain more understanding of the physical processes that control mantle convection, plate tectonics, and as more data become available from currently less accessible regions. This volume includes both thematic and review papers covering various aspects of the Wilson Cycle concept. Thematic sections include: (1) the Classic Wilson v. Supercontinent Cycles, (2) Mantle Dynamics in the Wilson Cycle, (3) Tectonic Inheritance in the Lithosphere, (4) Revisiting Tuzo’s question on the Atlantic, (5) Opening and Closing of Oceans, and (6) Cratonic Basins and their place in the Wilson Cycle.

Follow this father and daughter team of Mike and Jocelyn as they return to their bicycles for an awe-inspiring world adventure after their journey across the U.S. and New Zealand as written in their first adventure book published in 2013. In pursuit of this, they begin their most challenging ride yet from Marrakesh, Morocco to Bangkok, Thailand. North Africa, Europe, Central Asia, China, and Southeast Asia are traversed as they continue to explore this amazing world along with its diversity of people and cultures. After this enlightening ride, they continue from Washington State at the Canadian border and work their way south down the West Coast of the U.S., Mexico, Central America, and South America. Upon reaching Puerto Montt, Chile, they concede that the Southern Chile winter weather will prevent their progress further south. Next on their list is heading east across Canada to Nova Scotia, then south along the East Coast of the U.S., and then home to Cape Canaveral, Florida. They arrive home in December of 2016 from a world trip consisting of 37 countries, five continents, and over 28,000 miles. Mike and Jocelyn envisioned this travel by bicycle not so much as a cycling exercise but rather as a means to get to out-of-the-way places, to dig deeply into a country's cultures, and to meet locals in a way that normal tourists rarely do.
