This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens
worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles …

Abstract The Late Cretaceous is a significant geologic period in the South China Sea area,
as it marks the tectonic transition from the early Paleo-Pacific Plate subduction to the …

It is widely recognized that collisional mountain belt topography is generated by crustal
thickening and lowered by river bedrock erosion, linking climate and tectonics,,–. However …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

In accretionary convergent margins, the subduction interface is formed by a lower plate
décollement above which sediments are scraped off and incorporated into the accretionary …

The evolution of the Apennine wedge has seen the time‐space migration of the forebulge,
foredeep, thrust wedge, and back‐arc extension phases in the wake of the Eastward …

Fault reactivation is a process that has long been described in nature and modelled in the
laboratory. Although many plate boundaries worldwide have undergone successive …

A structural model is developed for the south-central Taiwan fold-and-thrust belt that shows
consistency across an array of data types and marks an important step forward in the …

Tectonics and climate-driven surface processes govern the evolution of Earth's surface
topography. Topographic change in turn influences lithospheric deformation, but the …

Taiwan is an archetypal example of continental accretionary wedges. Yet the generally poor
knowledge of three‐dimensional strain distribution over time and role of architecture of the …
