The great Aceh-Andaman earthquake of December 26, 2004 and its tragic consequences
brought the Sumatran region and its active tectonics into the world's focus. The plate tectonic …

The deformed margin of the Laurentian craton, preserved within the Appalachian-
Caledonide Orogen, is one of Earth's best studied ancient continental margins. Within the …

A plate tectonic model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW
Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed. The model is accompanied by …

Abstract The Qilian Shan, located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, has
experienced multiple episodes of tectonic deformation, including Neoproterozoic continental …

The 1900‐km‐long, trench‐parallel Sumatran fault accommodates a significant amount of
the right‐lateral component of oblique convergence between the Eurasian and …

The Andaman Sea is an active backarc basin lying above and behind the Sunda subduction
zone where convergence between the overriding Southeast Asian plate and the subducting …

In regions of oblique plate convergence, deformation is generally partitioned into strike-slip
and contractional components. We use a strain model of transpression, based upon a three …

A long‐standing problem in the geological evolution of the India‐Asia collision zone is how
and where convergence between India and Asia was accommodated since collision …

Geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements of interseismic strain above the Sumatran
portion of the Sunda subduction zone reveal a heterogeneous pattern of coupling. Annual …

Steep deformation zones characterized by predominantly horizontal displacement have
been documented in many tectonic settings in the Earth's crust during the last century and …
