Ha-wha'?

Whilst going through my backlog of email, I went through the Science table of contents. It included a paper with this title:

Major Australian-Antarctic Plate Reorganization at Hawaiian-Emperor Bend Time

OK, I recognise every word, but don't expect to see them in that order.

On reflection, I think it makes more sense if we assume there's a typo, and "Bend" is actually "Bed". Quite why antipodeans would want to reorganise their china at that time of day I'll let someone else explain. Or if anyone has a better (if not more accurate) interpretation, please tell! Bonus marks if it involves hedgehog pathways.
