Ancient slabs beneath Arctic and surroundings: Izanagi, Farallon, and in-betweens
A detailed 3-D tomographic model of the whole mantle beneath the northern hemisphere (north of ~ 30°N latitude) is obtained by inverting a large...

Clockwise rotation of SW Japan and timing of Izanagi–Pacific ridge subduction revealed by arc migration
Igneous rocks associated with the Cretaceous to Paleogene volcanic arc in SW Japan show ages that young from west to east in a direction parallel to...

Remnants of shifting early Cenozoic Pacific lower mantle flow imaged beneath the Philippine Sea Plate
Seismic anisotropy could provide vital information about the evolution and internal convection of the deep Earth interior. Although previous...

Dynamics of the abrupt change in Pacific Plate motion around 50 million years ago
A drastic change in plate tectonics and mantle convection occurred around 50 Ma as exemplified by the prominent Hawaiian–Emperor Bend. Both an abrupt...

The Rotation of the Pacific Plate Induced by the Ontong Java Large Igneous Province
The eruption of large igneous provinces usually has major geodynamic influences on overriding plates. Seamount chains indicate that the drifting...

Segregation of a thermochemical anomaly and coalescence with a large low-velocity province
Thermochemical anomalies on the core–mantle boundary, including the Africa and Pacific large low-velocity provinces, exert a first-order control on...

Cenozoic structural and tectonic evolution in the Western **hu Basin, East China Sea Shelf Basin
The Western **hu Basin (WXB), part of the East China Sea Shelf Basin (ECSSB), demonstrates distinct structural differences between different...

Petrogenesis of Early Cretaceous volcanic rocks in the southeastern margin of the Songliao Basin, NE China: implications for the geodynamic evolution of Paleo-Pacific Ocean
To better understand the geodynamic evolution of northeastern China during the Late Mesozoic, we analyzed zircon U–Pb geochronological, Lu–Hf...

Mesozoic Tectonothermal Evolution of the Southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Evidence from Apatite Fission-Track Thermochronology in Shalazha Mountain, Inner Mongolia
Mesozoic intracontinental orogeny and deformation were widespread within the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Chronological constraints...

The Geodynamic Evolution of Intraoceanic Island‒Arc Systems: Expansive (Izu–Bonin‒Mariana), Accretionary (Nemur‒Olutor) and Stationary (Aleutian) Types
Abstract —The authors propose a typification of intraoceanic island‒arc systems according to the geodynamics of their development in the oceanic...

Geodynamics of the Active Margin of Northeast Asia in the Late Cretaceous–Paleogene
AbstractLate Cretaceous to Paleogene suprasubduction systems of Northeast Asia’s active margin are considered in order to determine key objects for...

SS-LASS Zircon Dating Deciphering Multiple Episodes of Anatexis in a Deeply-Subducted Continental Crust: An Example from Sulu Orogen, China
‘Single shot’ laser-ablation split-stream (SS-LASS) technique analyzing unpolished zircon grains makes their thin rims tenable for determination,...

Plate convergence in the Indo-Pacific region
The Indo-Pacific convergence region is the best target to solve the two remaining challenges of the plate tectonics theory, i.e., subduction...

Magmatism of Shatsky Rise controlled by plume–ridge interaction
Shatsky Rise is a large oceanic plateau formed at a spreading ridge triple junction, but its origin mechanism is unclear. Voluminous magmatism at...

Geodynamic processes of the southeastern Neo-Tethys Ocean and the formation mechanism of the curved subduction system in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is located at the intersection of the Tethys and Pacific domains. The superimposed effects of the two tectonic domains have resulted...
