Abstract The Youjiang Basin in the western part of the South China Block (SCB), preserves
the records of the tectonic history from Tethyan, through Paleo-Pacific to Tibetan domains …

A novel geodynamic evolution model of the southwestern region of Gondwana from the late
Triassic to the middle Jurassic period is proposed in this contribution, based on new data …

Abstract In Central Vietnam, the Kontum massif is subdivided from North to South into:(i)
Kham Duc,(ii) Ngoc Linh,(iii) Kan Nack complexes. The Kham Duc complex consists of …

Flat slab subduction is an enigmatic style of subduction where the slab attains a horizontal
orientation for up to several hundred kilometers below the base of the overriding plate. It has …

Seismic anisotropy could provide vital information about the evolution and internal
convection of the deep Earth interior. Although previous seismological studies have …

We have compiled whole-rock analyses in mantle rocks to investigate the abundance of
gold in the lithospheric mantle, and how this distribution can be modified. We show that …

Using Gondwana as an example, we show how the geological record can be interrogated to
detect significant changes in mantle convection patterns at critical junctures in Earth's …

The mechanisms and processes by which subducted slab interacted with mantle plume
remain controversial, as direct observation of such interaction is difficult to impossible …

Upper-mantle upwellings are often invoked as the cause of Cenozoic volcanism in the Ibero-
western Maghreb region. However, their nature, geometry and origin are unclear. This study …

Abstract The Canary and Madeira provinces in the Central‐East Atlantic Ocean are
characterized by an irregular spatio‐temporal distribution of volcanism along the hotspot …
