What can potential field data really tell us about Continent-Ocean transitions?
define the distribution of crustal types at continentalmargins, with specific focus on the conjugate Australia-Antarctica margins. Previous studies have used featuresin gravity maps as a proxy for the pre-rift location ofplate boundaries. Instead, we discuss the use of potentialfield data to define...
