The heterogeneous Sundaland region was assembled by closure of Tethyan oceans and
addition of continental fragments. Its Mesozoic and Cenozoic history is illustrated by a new …

Based on the marine magnetic anomalies identified in the Argo Abyssal Plain offshore
northwestern Australia, the conceptual continent of Argoland must have rifted off in the Late …

A plate tectonic model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW
Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed. The model is accompanied by …

Reconstructions of SE Asia at 5 Ma intervals for the past 50 Ma are presented. They are
constrained by new data from the Philippine Sea plate, which forms the eastern boundary of …

Five suture zones are described from the zone of collision between the Eurasian, Indian–
Australian and Pacific–Philippine Sea plates within the eastern Indonesia region. These are …

Gold mineralization in Indonesia formed in andesitic arcs which were active for intervals of
between 3 and 20 My from the Cretaceous to Pliocene. Fifteen major arcs are identified with …

Southeast (SE) Asia is surrounded by subduction zones causing intense seismicity and
volcanic activity. Subduction has been the principal tectonic driver of collisions that caused …

Sulawesi has a remarkable biodiversity, an unusually rich endemic fauna, and is the largest
island in Wallacea, just west of the Wallace Line. Alfred Russel Wallace himself suggested it …

New field and laboratory data from western Sulawesi, Indonesia, integrated with available
data establish its Late Cenozoic igneous framework and a new model for its tectonic …

Over the past century, a wide variety of poorly dated sediments that unconformably overlie
pre-Neogene rocks in Sulawesi have been assigned to the Celebes Molasse and …
