Geophysical studies of the tectonic links between Sri Lanka and India are limited, and
consequent paleo‐fit configurations differ and remain uncertain. Here, we present first‐order …

Transform marginal plateaus (TMPs) are large and flat structures commonly found in deep
oceanic domains, but their origin and relationship to adjacent oceanic lithosphere remain …

Abstract The Indian Ocean lithosphere is a complex assemblage of large igneous provinces,
seamounts, plateaus and ridges of different loading ages and tectono-thermal evolution. As …

Reactivation of continental transform faults (hereafter transforms) is identified herein as a
significant factor in continental break-up, based on a global review of divergent margins and …

Abstract Evolution of the Arctic Ocean lithosphere has involved multiple stages of opening
with crustal stretching and thinning prior to lithospheric breakup. Mapping lateral variations …

Abstract The Greater Maldive Ridge (GMR), consisting of the Maldive Ridge (MR) and Deep
Sea Channel (DSC) region, is the NS trending, middle segment of Chagos-Laccadive Ridge …

Abstract The Eastern Central Atlantic (ECA) region includes the Azores, Canary, Cape
Verde, Great Meteor, and Madeira hotspots. These hotspots exhibit a large variety of …

The study of gravity signatures corresponding to sediment load over the passive margins is
helpful to constrain the mechanical properties of continental rift systems as well as the …

This study derives the spatial variation of the elastic thickness (Te) and its implications for
understanding the structure, geodynamic and seismicity of the lithosphere for the Zagros fold …

This special issue of the Journal of Asian Earth Sciences stems from the 2016 Annual
Convention of the International Association for Gondwana Research (IAGR) and 13th …
