To address the question of the initiation and mechanisms involved in the process of
subduction zone formation, we explored most of the available evidence for the subduction …

Passive margins have existed somewhere on Earth almost continually since 2740 Ma. They
were abundant at 1900–1890, 610–520, and 150–0 Ma, scarce at ca. 2445–2300, 1600 …

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 …

Geochemical parameters obtained from the analysis of sediments and sedimentary rocks
are widely used to infer weathering and paleo-weathering conditions in source areas …

Large peridotite massifs are scattered along the 1500 km length of the Yarlung–Zangbo
Suture Zone (southern Tibet, China), the major suture between Asia and Greater India …

In this study, we integrate bedrock datasets, observations of subducted slabs in the mantle,
and plate kinematic constraints to constrain models for the India-Asia collision and the …

Abstract On 17–18 September 2022, an earthquake sequence with a moment magnitude of
6.6 foreshock and a 7.0 mainshock occurred in southeast Taiwan along the Longitudinal …

Abstract The India-Asia collision has formed the highest mountains on Earth and is thought
to account for extensive intraplate deformation in Asia. The prevailing explanation considers …

The disastrous effects of the 1999 Chi‐Chi earthquake in Taiwan demonstrated an urgent
need for better knowledge of the island's potential earthquake sources. Toward this end, we …

Well-documented stratigraphy and clearly defined geodynamics in Taiwan, where some of
the best records on arc-continent collision have been preserved, offer a unique example for …
