Abstract The Neo-Tethys Ocean was an eastward-gaping triangular oceanic embayment
between Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. The Neo-Tethys Ocean was …

Convective removal of lower lithosphere beneath the Tibetan Plateau can account for a
rapid increase in the mean elevation of the Tibetan Plateau of 1000 m or more in a few …

Realistic appraisal of paleoclimatic information obtained from a particular location requires
accurate knowledge of its paleolatitude defined relative to the Earth's spin-axis. This is …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

The Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) is defined by tholeiitic basalts that crop out
in once-contiguous parts of North America, Europe, Africa, and South America and is …

Timing of the collision between India and Asia is the key boundary condition in all models for
the evolution of the Himalaya‐Tibetan orogenic system. Thus it profoundly affects the …

Thirteen time interval maps were constructed, which depict the Triassic to Neogene plate
tectonic configuration, paleogeography and general lithofacies of the southern margin of …

Reconstructions of SE Asia at 5 Ma intervals for the past 50 Ma are presented. They are
constrained by new data from the Philippine Sea plate, which forms the eastern boundary of …

Detailed global plate motion models that provide a continuous description of plate
boundaries through time are an effective tool for exploring processes both at and below the …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …
