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 …

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 …

Geology provides the basis for understanding distributions of faunas and floras in Southeast
Asia but only via a complex interplay of plate movements, palaeogeography, ocean …

The Sundaland core of SE Asia is a heterogeneous assemblage of Tethyan sutures and
Gondwana fragments. Its complex basement structure was one major influence on Cenozoic …

Eastern Indonesia is the site of intense deformation related to convergence between
Australia, Eurasia, the Pacific and the Philippine Sea Plate. Our analysis of the tectonic …

It is now generally accepted that the core of Southeast (SE) Asia was assembled from
continental blocks that separated from Gondwana in the Paleozoic and amalgamated with …

Southeast (SE) Asia is surrounded by subduction zones causing intense seismicity and
volcanic activity. Subduction has been the principal tectonic driver of collisions that caused …

Sulawesi has a remarkable biodiversity, an unusually rich endemic fauna, and is the largest
island in Wallacea, just west of the Wallace Line. Alfred Russel Wallace himself suggested it …

In the Wilson cycle, there is a change from an opening to a closing ocean when subduction
begins. Subduction initiation is commonly identified as a major problem in plate tectonics …

Inherited zircons in Cenozoic sedimentary and igneous rocks of East Java range in age from
Archean to Cenozoic. The distribution of zircons reveals two different basement types at …
