Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with
different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …

Based on the marine magnetic anomalies identified in the Argo Abyssal Plain offshore
northwestern Australia, the conceptual continent of Argoland must have rifted off in the Late …

Abstract The Eastern Erenhot ophiolitic complex (EOC) is one of the numerous fragments of
oceanic lithosphere in southeastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt. It is composed dominantly …

A group of 34 chromium-resistant bacteria were isolated from naturally occurring chromium
percolated serpentine soil of Andaman (India). These isolates displayed different degrees of …

The Ankara mélange within the Izmir–Ankara–Erzincan suture zone in north‐central Turkey
includes ophiolitic fragments that represent the remnants of an oceanic basement evolved …

Plagiogranites associated with the Sarikaraman ophiolite of the Central Anatolian
Crystalline Complex, Turkey, closely resemble other plagiogranites from supra-subduction …

Abstract The Qilian Orogen in the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is the northernmost
of the Tethyan domain. Abundant ophiolites record the closure of an early Tethyan ocean …

The Andaman Islands, the central part of Burma–Java subduction complex, expose
tectonostratigraphic units of an accretionary prism in an outer-arc setting and turbidites of a …

Subduction polarity reversal during arc‐continent collision has been proposed as a key
mechanism to initiate new subduction zones. Despite often interpreted, well‐exposed …

Serpentine soils collected from Saddle Hills, Chidyatapu and Rutland of Andaman Islands,
India were analyzed for physico‐chemical and microbiological characteristics and compared …
