Abstract: Abstract The South China Sea oceanic lithosphere has been subducting eastward beneath the Huatung Basin/Philippine Sea Plate since the Early Miocene (~18 Ma). The subduction is followed by the oblique collision between the Luzon arc and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116087
Abstract: Abstract Subduction of oceanic lithosphere is the primary driver of plate tectonics on Earth. However, one of the least understood aspects of plate tectonics is how subduction zones initiate, due to the lack of recognition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-15580-7
Abstract: Topography in forearc regions reflects tectonic processes along the subduction interface, from seismic cycle-related transients to long-term competition between accretion and erosion. Yet, no consensus exists about the topography drivers, especially as the contribution of… read more here.
