In this article, we review the significant recent results of geophysical studies and discuss
their implications on seismotectonics, magmatism, and mantle dynamics in East Asia. High …

The Moho in subduction zones exists in two distinct forms, one associated with the
subducting oceanic plate and second with the overriding plate. The seismic expression of …

The Taiwan orogen sitting at the pre-rifted Eurasian margin and bracketed by two sub-
orthogonal subduction systems is subject to complicated geotectonics, motivating numerous …

Cenozoic basalts with ages ranging from 28.5 to< 0.1 Ma are widely distributed in the
Indochina block, the South China Sea basin and the Leiqiong area in South China including …

The convergence of the Philippine Sea and the Eurasian plates in the Taiwan region led to
the formation of a young collisional mountain between two subduction zones of nearly …

Both geophysical and petrological data suggest that large amounts of water are released in
subduction zones during the burial of oceanic lithosphere through metamorphic dehydration …

We herein investigate the extent to which extensive hydration of the oceanic lithosphere
influences the preservation and exhumation of large-scale ophiolite bodies from subduction …

We present a new compilation of magnetic, geologic, GPS and seismic data and propose
that the geometry and kinematics of the Taiwan arc–continent collision are dominated by the …

We review the significant recent results of multiscale seismic tomography of the Western-
Pacific subduction zones and discuss their implications for seismotectonics, magmatism …

We present a new global model of shear and compressional wave speeds for the entire
mantle, partly based on the data set employed for the shear velocity model savani. We invert …
