Three-dimensional constrained gravity inversion of Moho depth and crustal structural characteristics at Mozambique continental margin
Mozambique’s continental margin in East Africa was formed during the break-off stage of the east and west Gondwana lands. Studying the geological...

Growth of continental crust in intra-oceanic and continental-margin arc systems: Analogs for Archean systems
Earth’s continental crust has grown and been recycled throughout geologic history along convergent plate margins. The main locus of continental...

Geodynamics of a Breakup of Western Part of the Karelian Craton: Data on 2.1 Ga Mafic Magmatism
AbstractMafic intraplate magmatism is the main source of information about the geodynamics of processes that lead to the breakup of continental...

Neotectonics at the SE Continental Margin of the Korean Peninsula: Implications for the Back-Arc Region Behind the SW Japan Arc
The geological evolution of the SE continental margin of the Korean Peninsula resulted from crustal extension with back-arc rifting to spreading...

Formation of Gas Accumulation on the East African Continental Margins
AbstractAt present, the continental margin of the Southeast Africa is being actively prospected. However, unlike the continental margins of West...

Fortescue Group: The Neoarchean Breakup of the Pilbara Craton
At 2775 Ma, the Neoarchean crust of the Pilbara Craton began to be extended and rifted resulting in the widespread eruption of basaltic lavas....

Fragmentary records from the breakup of Rodinia to the closure of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean: new evidence from the Gicha Complex in the middle Sanjiang Tethyan Orogen, SW China
The Sanjiang Tethyan Orogen plays a pivotal role in elucidating the geodynamic processes related to the evolution of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. Research...

Thermo-Rheological Structure and Passive Continental Margin Rifting in the Qiongdongnan Basin, South China Sea, China
To investigate the thermo-rheological structure and passive continental margin rifting in the Qiongdongnan Basin (QDNB), thermo-rheological models of...

Flexural uplift and magmatic underplating anomaly on the Argentine continental margin: profile at 43.5°S
Magmatic underplating can be defined as the addition of mafic magma to the lower crust and uppermost mantle around the Moho. This phenomenon plays an...

Rift-related paleogeography of the European margin in the Eastern Alps (Central Tauern Window)
Continent-derived tectonic units in the Tauern Window of the Alps exhibit stratigraphic and structural traces of extension of continental margins...

The sedimentary record of the Sanshui Basin: Implication to the Late Cretaceous tectonic evolution in the northern margin of South China Sea
Whether the South China continental margin had shifted from active subduction to passive extension in the Late Cretaceous remains controversial....

Fragment of an Early Cambrian Continental Margin in the Structure of the Tuva Segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (Teregtig Formation): Results of U–Pb Zircon Dating and Sr Chemostratigraphy
AbstractThe age of sedimentation (530–520 Ma) of the Teregtig Formation of South Tuva is estimated on the basis of U–Pb dating of detrital zircon...

Provenance of Neogene deposits of Barreiras Formation in the southeastern Brazilian continental margin
The Barreiras Formation records continental-to-shallow–water marine sequences deposited during the Paleogene–Neogene periods in the Brazilian...

Continental weathering as the source of iron in Jurassic iron oolites from Switzerland
Iron is extremely insoluble in oxic seawater. The lack of a large aqueous reservoir means that sediments rich in authigenic iron are rare in the...

Mineralogical, Geochemical, and Nd-Sr Isotope Characteristics of Amphibolites from the Alag-Khadny High-Pressure Complex (SW Mongolia): Intracontinental Rifting as a Precursor of Continental-Margin Subduction
Within subduction-accretion complexes, high-pressure rocks (blueschists, eclogites) are commonly juxtaposed with lower-grade rocks, which represent...

Submarine volcanism in the southern margin of the South China Sea
Submarine volcanism is widely developed in the South China Sea (SCS). However, the characteristics, distribution, and genesis of submarine volcanoes...

Key geodynamic processes and driving forces of Tethyan evolution
Tethys tectonic system has experienced a long-term evolution history, including multiple Wilson cycles; thus, it is an ideal target for analyzing...
