The spatiotemporal interplay of long-lasting post-orogenic deformations make continental collision zones among Earth’s most enigmatic systems. Here, we employ three-dimensional thermomechanical ...

The Tibetan and Iranian plateaus are the two most prominent orogenic plateaus on the present Earth built by continental collision. However, the timings of initial collision and suturing in the ...

A research team led by Prof. Ding Lin from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically explained the differential uplift process and its related ...

The conceptual sketch of multiple Wilson cycles for a series of subduction‐collision‐subduction processes during the evolution of Tethyan realm during the Phanerozoic, with the final collision between ...

The initiation of plate subduction on Earth may occur before 3 billion years ago or even Hadean. Subduction is the core process of plate tectonics, which gradually lead to the co-evolution of ...
