We review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean–Anatolia region and discuss strain
localisation there over geological times. From Late Eocene to Present, crustal deformation in …

Long-standing problems in the geological evolution of the Tibetan–Himalayan orogen
include where the India–Asia convergence was accommodated and how the plateau grew …

The GEM Global Active Faults Database (GAF-DB) is the first public, comprehensive
database of active faults with worldwide coverage. The GAF-DB is a compilation of many …

Mechanical properties of lithosphere are of primary importance for interpretation of
deformation at all spatial and time scales, from local scale to large-scale geodynamics and …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

The four‐part districting scheme (wedge‐top, foredeep, forebulge, and backbulge
depozones) applies to many foreland basin systems worldwide, but significant variations …

We invert for the upper-mantle temperatures of the Chinese continent in the depth range of
70–240km from a recent S-velocity model. The depth where temperatures intersect a mantle …

Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at
large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …

Lithospheric extension plays a pivotal role in governing the evolution of continents and the
birth of oceanic basins on Earth. Despite this, quantifying wide-mode lithospheric extension …
