Ultrahigh-temperature (UHT; T max≥ 900° C) metamorphism requires unusually high heat
in continental crust at depths of 15–55 km, but how such extreme thermal conditions are …

We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …

Construction of the Andes has been governed largely by fluctuating contractional, neutral,
and extensional tectonic regimes during differing degrees of mechanical coupling along the …

Abstract The India-Asia collision has formed the highest mountains on Earth and is thought
to account for extensive intraplate deformation in Asia. The prevailing explanation considers …

Reconfigurations of magmatic arcs through time have been recognized since pioneering
works, describing inland and trenchward arc migrations or magmatic shut-off lasting for …

The formation of mountain belts or rift zones is commonly attributed to interactions between
plates along their boundaries, but the widely distributed deformation of Asia from Himalaya …

A novel geodynamic evolution model of the southwestern region of Gondwana from the late
Triassic to the middle Jurassic period is proposed in this contribution, based on new data …

Back-arc extension has been well documented in subduction plate tectonic regimes.
However, the reasons why back-arc extensions are associated with some subduction …

Subduction along the western margin of South America has been active since the Jurassic,
but Andean orogeny started in the middle Cretaceous and was preceded by backarc …

The concept of interplay between mantle convection and tectonics goes back to about a
century ago, with the proposal that convection currents in the Earth's mantle drive …
