Inception and Plate Evolution of the Lau Back‐Arc Basin From Plate Boundary Refinements
Back‐arc basins are important settings for crustal growth that form in response to both near and far‐field tectonic influences. To better understand the processes that control back‐arc basin initiation and evolution, we present a refined model of the kinematics of opening of the Lau Basin, embedded in a global plate mo...
