The continental breakup which gave way to the formation of the oceanic South China Sea
(SCS) basin began in the latest Cretaceous in the northeastern SCS and propagated in …

We review and discuss some of the recent scientific findings made on magnetic data in the
South China Sea (SCS). Magnetic anomalies bear extremely rich information on Mesozoic …

Combined analyses of deep tow magnetic anomalies and International Ocean Discovery
Program Expedition 349 cores show that initial seafloor spreading started around 33 Ma in …

Coring/logging data and physical property measurements from International Ocean
Discovery Program Expedition 349 are integrated with, and correlated to, reflection seismic …

The South China Sea formed by magma-poor, or intermediate volcanic rifting in the
Paleogene. We investigate the structure of the continent-ocean transition (COT) at its …

The extensive intraplate seamounts are obvious features in the northern South China Sea
(SCS). However, the distribution, volume, and origin of these seamounts are not well …

The northern margin of the South China Sea (SCS) has particular structural and stratigraphic
characteristics that are somewhat different from those described in typical passive margin …

We have investigated Mesozoic geological problems around the South China Sea (SCS)
based on gravimetric, magnetic, seismic, and lithofacies data. Three-dimensional analytical …

In 2016, we carried out a coincidental multichannel reflection seismic and wide‐angle
reflection/refraction seismic experiment along a 320‐km‐long profile across the northeastern …

Neotectonic and sedimentary processes in the South China Sea abyssal basin are still
debated because of the lack of drilling evidence to test competing models. In this study, we …
