Philippine Sea and East Asian plate tectonics since 52 Ma constrained by new subducted slab reconstruction methods
TL;DR: The authors reconstructed the Philippine Sea and East Asian plate tectonics from 28 slabs mapped in 3D from global tomography, with a subducted area of ~25% of present-day global oceanic lithosphere.

TL;DR: This article reconstructed the Philippine Sea and East Asian plate tectonics from 28 slabs mapped in 3D from global tomography, with a subducted area of ~25% of present-day global oceanic lithosphere.

Southward propagation of Nazca subduction along the Andes.
Yi-Wei Chen,Jonny Wu,John Suppe +2 more
TL;DR: The model suggests that Nazca subduction has not been fully continuous since the Mesozoic but instead included episodic divergent phases, and it is found that foredeep sedimentation and the initiation of Andean compression are both linked to interactions between the Nazca slab and the lower mantle, consistent with previous modelling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proto-South China Sea Plate Tectonics Using Subducted Slab Constraints from Tomography
Jonny Wu,John Suppe +1 more
TL;DR: The past size and location of the hypothesized proto-South China Sea vanished ocean basin has important plate-tectonic implications for Southeast Asia since the Mesozoic. as mentioned in this paper presented new details on proto-south China Sea paleogeography using mapped and unfolded slabs from tomography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Izanagi-Pacific ridge subduction revealed by a 56 to 46 Ma magmatic gap along the northeast Asian margin
Jeremy Tsung-Jui Wu,Jonny Wu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a newly compiled magmatic catalog of ∼900 published Cretaceous to Miocene igneous rock radioisotopic values and ages from the northeast Asian margin for ridge subduction evidence and revealed that a near-synchronous 56-46 Ma magmatic gap occurred across ∼1500 km of the Eurasian continental margin between Japan and Sikhote-Alin, Russian Far East.
