Multiple Tethyan ocean basins and orogenic belts in Asia
I Metcalfe - Gondwana Research, 2021 - Elsevier
Four Tethyan ocean basins are recognised in Asia, the Proto-Tethys (Late Proterozoic-

A paleolatitude calculator for paleoclimate studies
Realistic appraisal of paleoclimatic information obtained from a particular location requires
accurate knowledge of its paleolatitude defined relative to the Earth's spin-axis. This is …

Mesozoic tectono-magmatic response in the East Asian ocean-continent connection zone to subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate
Abstract The Mesozoic Western Pacific subduction system significantly impacted the North

[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Tectonic evolution and geodynamics of the Neo-Tethys Ocean
Abstract The Neo-Tethys Ocean was an eastward-ga** triangular oceanic embayment

Asian monsoons in a late Eocene greenhouse world
The strong present-day Asian monsoons are thought to have originated between 25 and 22
million years (Myr) ago, driven by Tibetan–Himalayan uplift. However, the existence of older …

Philippine Sea and East Asian plate tectonics since 52 Ma constrained by new subducted slab reconstruction methods
Abstract We reconstructed Philippine Sea and East Asian plate tectonics since 52 Ma from
28 slabs mapped in 3‐D from global tomography, with a subducted area of~ 25% of present …

Paleoenvironments shaped the exchange of terrestrial vertebrates across Wallace's Line
Faunal turnover in Indo-Australia across Wallace's Line is one of the most recognizable
patterns in biogeography and has catalyzed debate about the role of evolutionary and …
