Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has seen models move beyond the
classical idea of continental drift by attempting to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of …

Abstract The Central China Orogenic Belt (CCOB) comprises, from the east to the west, the
Tongbai-Dabie, Qinling, Qilian and Kunlun Orogens, and preserves abundant and important …

Four Tethyan ocean basins are recognised in Asia, the Proto-Tethys (Late Proterozoic-
Silurian), Palaeo-Tethys (Middle Devonian-Late Triassic), Meso-Tethys (Middle Permian …

Abstract The South China Block is situated in the Eastern Asian margin. Since the
Neoproterozoic, its tectonic evolution was constrained by successive consumption-closure …

Surface deformation in continental interiors is typically coupled to processes at depth.
However, in the Sichuan basin, east of the Tibetan Plateau, recent seismic data detect …

Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is the largest accretionary orogen in the
world with considerable Phanerozoic juvenile crustal growth. The eastern segment of the …

New palaeogeographical reconstructions for the earlier Ordovician (480 Ma), and later
Ordovician (450 Ma) integrate revised longitude-calibrated palaeomagnetic reconstructions …

Abstract The Mesozoic Western Pacific subduction system significantly impacted the North
China and South China blocks along the East Asian continental margin and influenced the …

Abstract The Neoproterozoic Jiangnan Orogen in South China records a succession of arc-
