Origin, accretion, and reworking of continents
The continental crust is unique to the Earth in the solar system, and controversies remain
regarding its origin, accretion and reworking of continents. The plate tectonics theory has …

Fine lithospheric structure controlling Meso-Cenozoic tectono-magmatism in the South China Block: Inference from a multidisciplinary analysis
As an important tectonic block in East China, the South China Block (SCB) plays a key role
in coordinating the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate and the plate reconstruction in the …

Global back-arc extension due to trench-parallel mid-ocean ridge subduction
Subduction of young seafloors straddling mid-ocean ridges (MOR) is an inevitable
consequence of plate tectonics. Surprisingly, this process correlates globally with prolonged …

Seismically imaged lithospheric delamination and its controls on the Mesozoic Magmatic Province in South China
The current lithospheric root of the South China Block has been partly removed, yet what
mechanisms modified the lithospheric structure remain highly controversial. Here we use a …

Multistage plate subduction controls intraplate volcanism and cratonic lithospheric thinning in Northeast Asia
Although subduction is a critical factor impacting continental deformation, the interactions
between deep dynamic processes and surface tectonic responses remain debated. Based …

Massive Jurassic slab break-off revealed by a multidisciplinary reappraisal of the Chon Aike silicic large igneous province
The origin of the Chon Aike silicic large igneous province (SLIP) is a matter of intense
debate, with contrasting hypotheses that range from intraplate settings linked to mantle …

Quantifying slab sinking rates using global geodynamic models with data-assimilation
Recent tomography-based tectonic (tomotectonic) reconstructions provide important new
insights on past subduction processes. However, some of these exercises violate key …
