Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …
The heterogeneous Sundaland region was assembled by closure of Tethyan oceans and addition of continental fragments. Its Mesozoic and Cenozoic history is illustrated by a new …
Seismic travel-time tomography of the mantle under SE Asia reveals patterns of subduction- related seismic P-wave velocity anomalies that are of great value in helping to understand …

We study the age of the subducting Pacific slab beneath East Asia using a high-resolution model of P-wave tomography and paleo-age data of ancient seafloor. Our results show that …
Abstract Tropical Southeast (SE) Asia harbors extraordinary species richness and in its entirety comprises four of the Earth's 34 biodiversity hotspots. Here, we examine the …
The extraordinary species richness and endemism of the Indo-Australian Archipelago (IAA) exists in one of the most geologically dynamic regions of the planet. The provenance of its …
Indonesian seismicity provides important insights into the tectonics and hazards of a region that is, characterized by a remarkable diversity in faulting, including subduction, extension …
The Caribbean oceanic crust was formed west of the North and South American continents, probably from Late Jurassic through Early Cretaceous time. Its subsequent evolution has …
The Asian continent consists of many continental blocks that assembled during the Phanerozoic, accompanied by widespread granitoids. By compiling a series of digital maps …
