Abstract The Apennines-Sicilian-Maghrebian fold-and-thrust belt originated from the subduction of the Alpine Tethys and the later collision of drifted continental blocks against …
Abstract In the Internal Zone of a continental collisional orogen, first-order contractional shear zones accommodate crustal shortening. Structural investigations at different scales …
In the past decades, the arc-continent collision in Taiwan was commonly interpreted as a relatively continuous process with an invariant plate convergence vector for at least the last …
Moine metasedimentary rocks of northern Scotland are characterized by arcuate map patterns of mineral lineations that swing progressively clockwise from orogen-perpendicular …
Most natural examples of transpression zones developed at oblique convergence regime are inherently 3D and have inclined boundaries. A 3D finite element model with an elasto …
The architecture (geometry, fault network, and stacking pattern of accreted thrust sheets) of accretionary wedges influences subduction zone processes. However, it remains …

Our field-based geochemical studies of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous granitoids on Hainan Island indicate that their magmas had different geochemical affinities, changing from …
Abstract The Plio-Pleistocene Lichi Mélange in the Coastal Range of eastern Taiwan offers an excellent opportunity to study processes of mélange development at the continent-ocean …
