The continental breakup which gave way to the formation of the oceanic South China Sea
(SCS) basin began in the latest Cretaceous in the northeastern SCS and propagated in …

Deepwater fold and thrust belts (DWFTBs) are classified into near-field stress-driven Type 1
systems confined to the sedimentary section, and Type 2 systems deformed by either far …

Seismic reflection data imaging conjugate crustal sections at the South China Sea margins
result in a conceptual model for rift-evolution at conjugate magma-poor margins in time and …

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 …

Abstract During the Paleogene the Proto-South China Sea was subducted beneath northern
Borneo. Subduction ended with Early Miocene collision of the Dangerous Grounds/Reed …

The structural-stratigraphic history of the North Luconia Province, Sarawak deepwater area,
is related to the tectonic history of the South China Sea. The Sarawak Basin initiated as a …

Central Luconia is a geological province of the Sarawak Basin, offshore NW Borneo,
characterised by extensive development of Miocene to Recent carbonate build-ups. In the …

Three-dimensional seismic reflection data, well data, and analogues from areas with
extensive shale tectonics indicate that the enigmatic deepwater “shale nappe or thrust …

Gas hydrates are a major component in the organic carbon cycle. Their stability is controlled
by temperature, pressure, water chemistry, and gas composition. The bottom‐simulating …

The North-West Borneo Trough is bordered along its south-east margin by a mélange
wedge that has been the subject of disagreement with insufficient discussion. Offshore …
