Silicic magmas play an important role in the formation of continental crust and are
responsible for some of the most hazardous volcanic eruptions on the planet. Low-δ 18 O …

Recent studies on seismic imaging of the Northwest Pacific and East Asian region are
reviewed. High-resolution tomographic images reveal significant lateral heterogeneities in …

Using data from more than 2000 seismic stations from multiple networks arrayed throughout
China (CEArray, China Array, NECESS, PASSCAL, GSN) and surrounding regions (Korean …

To better understand the subsurface behavior of subducting slabs and their relation to the
tectonic evolution of the overriding plate, we conduct a full waveform inversion on a large …

Most magmatism occurring on Earth is conventionally attributed to passive mantle upwelling
at mid-ocean ridges, to slab devolatilization at subduction zones, or to mantle plumes …

It has previously been postulated that the Earth's hydrous mantle transition zone may play a
key role in intraplate magmatism, but no confirmatory evidence has been reported. Here we …

Abstract Northwest Pacific-Izanagi subduction histories along Eurasia are poorly
constrained due to extensive subduction, which partially consumed the western Pacific plate …

A 3-D crustal and upper mantle S-wave velocity model of NE China is constructed by
inversion of phase velocity dispersion curves at 6–140 s periods from ambient noise …

We present a 3‐D radially anisotropic model of the crust and mantle beneath East Asia
down to 900 km depth. Adjoint tomography based on a spectral element method is applied …

Long-lived, widespread intraplate volcanism without age progression is one of the most
controversial features of plate tectonics. Previously proposed edge-driven convection …
