Although the axial and dominant geocentric character of the Earth's magnetic field means
that paleolongitude is indeterminate, paleomagnetism is otherwise the only truly quantitative …

Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Abstract The East Asian continent records a complex geologic and tectonic history that
involved the amalgamation of several small-to medium-sized blocks from Laurasia or …

Sundaland, the continental core of SE Asia, is a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks
and volcanic arcs bounded by narrow suture zones that represent the remnants of ancient …

The beginning of seafloor spreading in the South China Sea (SCS) is now established from
IODP drilling Leg 349 at 33 Ma. Chron 12 (32 Ma) is the oldest chron identified in the SCS …

The Late Cretaceous–Early Palaeogene history of the continental core of SE Asia
(Sundaland) marks the time prior to collision of India with Asia when SE Asia, from the …

To this day, there is a great amount of controversy about where, when and how the so-called
supercontinents--Pangea, Godwana, Rodinia, and Columbia--were made and broken …

The distribution of unconformities and end of Cenozoic rifting events in the South China
Seas (SCS) reflects both the modes of rift development, and the effects of driving …

Crustal rheology controls the style of rifting and ultimately the architecture of rifted margins.
Here we review the formation of three magma-poor margin pairs, Iberia-Newfoundland, the …

Abstract The North China Craton contains one of the longest, most complex records of
magmatism, sedimentation, and deformation on Earth, with deformation spanning the …
