Continent-ocean transition (COT) is a key area for studying the lithospheric replacement
from the thinned continental to oceanic crust. The extent and nature of the COT in the mid …

We present an updated evaluation of SE Asian geodynamics that includes the interactions of
the South China Sea (SCS) marginal basin with surrounding plates since the end of SCS …

The 2D rifting modes interpreted in traditional “magma‐poor” and “magma‐rich” margins
cannot explain the crustal structure and inferred rifting processes in the northern South …

Magmatism and crustal structural characteristics are well-known phenomena that support
understanding the marginal sea's tectonic evolution. The South China Sea (SCS) has …

Rifted margins often show apparent along‐strike variations at the continent‐ocean transition
(COT) region, typically occurring gradually over hundreds‐to‐thousands of km between the …

Continental blocks complicate the pre-rift lithospheric inheritance of passive continental
margins, hence exert unique influences on rifting process. Along-strike rifting contrasts of the …

Constructing an accurate three-dimensional (3D) geological model is crucial for advancing
our understanding of subsurface structures and their evolution, particularly in complex …

Accurate positions of ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBSs) on the seafloor are critical
parameters and can only be obtained by inversion modeling of first‐arrival travel times of …

We analyse how the potential field and deep structures of the continent–ocean transition
(COT) zone in the northern South China Sea vary along-strike with the aim of understanding …

Based on high-resolution 3D seismic data acquired in the Pearl (Zhujiang) River Mouth
Basin of the northern South China Sea, this study investigated the geometry, spatial …
