Traditionally active rifts are thought to evolve in response to thermal upwelling of the
asthenosphere, whereas passive rifts develop in response to lithospheric extension driven …

Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with
different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …

We utilize an integrated permeability and porosity measurement system to measure the
stress dependent permeability and porosity of Pliocene to Pleistocene sedimentary rocks …

Detrital zircon provenance data for the Tananao schist in eastern Taiwan is consistent with
its protolith being deposited on the South China continental margin at around, or soon after …

Tectonic reconstructions of Southeast Asia have given rise to numerous controversies that
include the accretionary history of Sundaland and the enigmatic tectonic origin of the proto …

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

The evolution of the Pyrenees, a mountain range between Iberia and Eurasia, has remained
the subject of many debates between geologists and geophysicists for a long time. By …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) seismic, borehole and geochemical data reveal a
prolonged phase of post-rift magmatism on highly extended crust of the Baiyun Sag, South …

The South China Sea is the largest low‐latitude marginal sea on the globe. For a long time,
researchers from various fields have been curious about the sea. For instance, geologists …

Back-arc basins and the related subduction systems have been extensively studied,
however back-arc basins exhibiting episodic jumps of extension centers by the subduction …
