Chemical geodynamics is an integrated discipline that studies the geochemical structure
and tectonic evolution of geospheres with the aim of linking tectonic processes to …

The New Guinea region evolved within the obliquely and rapidly converging Australian and
Pacific plate boundary zone. It is arguably one of the most tectonically complex regions of …

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 …

Zircon geochronology and geochemistry are increasingly important for understanding
metamorphic processes, particularly at extreme conditions, but drivers of zircon dissolution …

High-P/T metamorphic belts were classified into types A and B according to their protoliths.
The A-type (collision-type) blueschists possess passive-margin protoliths characterized by …

All normal-fault systems must terminate both along and orthogonal to strike. As many as four
terminations may be associated with a single culmination. Most normalfault systems …

The temperature-time significance of 40 Ar/39 Ar muscovite ages is difficult to evaluate
quantitatively because of ambiguities in the choice of an appropriate model diffusion …

The growth of the gravitational instability associated with a dense layer overlying a lighter
layer, Rayleigh–Taylor instability, depends strongly on the constitutive law relating stress …

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites of several eukaryotes. They have a highly
complex and unique infection apparatus but otherwise appear structurally simple …

I review geologic evidence for Archean plate tectonic processes within the framework of
geophysical, geochemical and experimental observations. For the Late Archean (2.5–3.0 …
