This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) seismic-based case study (similar to 1,200 km(2)) from the deepwater Niger Delta to examine the role of s......
The Longmen Shan range, located on the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, is characterized by steep topography and a shortening rate of <3 mm/y......
The location of the suture zone between the South China Block (SCB) and the Indochina Block (IB) is disputed. Recently, along the Song Chay (Chay rive......
During the Late Mesozoic, East China is characterized by widespread magmatism, thrusting and folding, extensional doming, strike-slip faulting, and bl......
Sedimentary rocks provide key information on source-to-sink systems and the regional expression of plate tectonics. The abruptly changing provenance s......
The configuration and timing of the Arabia-Eurasia continental collision, part of the broader Alpine-Himalayan collisional system, remains controversi......
This study presents a comprehensive low-temperature thermochronometric data set from the Shanxi Rift, Taihangshan, and eastern Ordos block in North Ch......
The Shanxi Rift System (SRS) is a prominent intracontinental rift in eastern Eurasia. However, its tectonic origin remains enigmatic, as the timing of......
New field relations and U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from Middle Devonian-Upper Triassic sedimentary rocks in the South Tianshan constrain the time a......
The Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone (BNSZ) in central Tibet represents relics of the Meso-Tethys Ocean that once separated the Lhasa and Qiangtang terrane......
Studying the slip rate along major strike-slip faults is critical to understanding the deformation and kinematics in continental collision zones. The ......
The Shanxi rift is located in the central part of the North China Craton (NCC). With strong tectonic deformation and intense seismic activity, its cru......
A crustal-scale detachment system, linking cooler hanging wall basins and the hotter footwall Yiwulushan metamorphic core complex (MCC), is located in......
The Proterozoic-Phanerozoic evolution of the Tarim and North China cratons is integral to the construction of the Eurasian continent. Throughout the P......
The timings of the onset of oceanic spreading, subduction and collision are crucial in plate reconstructions, but not always straightforward to resolv......
