Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with
different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …

A plate tectonic model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW
Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed. The model is accompanied by …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

In this paper we present a global model (GSRM-1) of both horizontal velocities on the Earth's
surface and horizontal strain rates for almost all deforming plate boundary zones. A model …

Borneo occupies a central position in the Sundaland promontory of SE Asia. It has a
complex Cenozoic geological history of sedimentation and deformation which began at …

The island of Sulawesi, eastern Indonesia, is located within the triple junction of the
Australian, Philippine, and Sunda plates and accommodates the convergence of continental …

In the upper crust, the chemical influence of pore water promotes time dependent brittle
deformation through sub‐critical crack growth. Sub‐critical crack growth allows rocks to …

We perform a joint inversion of Quaternary strain rates and 238 Global Positioning System
(GPS) velocities in Asia for a self‐consistent velocity field. The reference frames for all …

A combined analysis of the geodetic strain-rate field and the strain-rate field deduced from
the seismicity allows us to define the style of deformation and to distinguish seismic from …

Tomographic images of mantle structure beneath the region north and northeast of Australia
show a number of anomalously fast regions. These are interpreted using a recent plate …
