Documenting the mass flux through convergent plate margins is important to the
understanding of petrogenesis in arc settings and to the origin of the continental crust, since …

Orogeny, the process by which the earth's prominent mountain ranges are constructed, has
been a central topic of interest in the earth sciences since at least the end of the 18th …

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 …

The 1900‐km‐long, trench‐parallel Sumatran fault accommodates a significant amount of
the right‐lateral component of oblique convergence between the Eurasian and …

This paper is a summary and progress report of a study of the northeastern Indian Ocean,
covering the areas of the Bengal and Nicobar Fans, the western Wharton Basin, the …

Hardly a week passes without our learning of natural geologic disaster somewhere in the
world, be it a volcanic eruption, landslide, or destructive earthquake. The prominent public …

Paleoclimatologists have adequately demonstrated over the last twenty years that the
distribution of climatically sensitive sediments can be related to present-day climatic zones …

Post-collisional magmatism may be generated by extensive crustal melting in Tibet-type
collisional environments or by falling out of slabs from under giant subduction–accretion …

The subduction model for trench-arc-back arc systems was deduced more or less as a
logical consequence of sea-floor spreading. Many features in these systems, such as thrust …

Rapid dewatering, largely through loss of porosity, is one of the most striking changes
affecting deformed sediments in accretionary prisms. Analysis of porosity from sample and …
