The timing of initial collision between India and Asia has remained controversial for half a
century. This paper attempts to review this crucial and hotly debated argument, describing …

The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Estimating shortening in collision belts is critical to reconstruct past plate motions. Balanced
cross‐section techniques are efficient in external domains but lack resolution in the …

The structural-stratigraphic history of the North Luconia Province, Sarawak deepwater area,
is related to the tectonic history of the South China Sea. The Sarawak Basin initiated as a …

An important discussion has recently called the attention of sedimentologists and
geomorphologists to the dominant fluvial styles preserved in the geological record. While …

Actualistic plate‐tectonic models are the best framework within which to understand the
tectonics of sedimentary basins. Sedimentary basins develop in divergent, intraplate …

Broken foreland basins are caused by crustal-scale contractional basement structures that
compartmentalize (or break) a contiguous retroarc or collisional foreland basin into smaller …

Lithospheric folding is an important mode of basin formation in compressional intraplate
settings. Basins formed by lithospheric folding are characterized by distinct features in …

The fossil record provides the primary source of data for calibrating the origin of clades.
Although minimum ages of clades are given by the oldest preserved fossil, these …
