Arc and Intraplate Volcanism in Northeast Asia Since mid-Miocene: Numerical model studies
Locations of the Quaternary arc and intraplate volcanoes in Northeast Asia, depicted as black triangles, with major plate boundaries. Modified from Kim et al. (2015).

Northeast Asia may be one of the best natural laboratories to investigate both arc and intraplate volcanisms which have developed since the mid-Miocene. The arc volcanoes have occurred above the sinking young (Philippine) and old (Pacific) oceanic plates in Southwest and Northeast Japan subduction zones, respectively. The intraplate volcanoes across the Korean Peninsula and China have occurred abo ...[Read More]

Back-arc systems: arguably the most influential tectonic feature in the oceanic domain

Dr. Anouk Beniest, an Assistant Professor in Tectonics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdamat, is an interdisciplinary earth scientist, bringing together geology, geophysics and geodynamics to help us understand complex geological problems. Her research revolves predominantly around plate tectonics, with a focus on extensional systems and she has kindly put together this blog post to convince you t ...[Read More]

Effects of decelerating India-Eurasia convergence on the crustal flow and topographic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau

Effects of decelerating India-Eurasia convergence on the crustal flow and topographic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau

The Tibetan Plateau is the most extensive elevated surface on the Earth, stretching ~1,000 km north to south and 3,200 km east to west, with a mean elevation of greater than 4.5 km and located north of the Indian subcontinent. The formation of this Plateau has profoundly influenced the variations and evolution of Asian climate, strengthening of the South-Asian Monsoon, development of the large Asi ...[Read More]
