TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a number of tectonic models in an attempt to understand the mechanism of plateau accretion in the Solomon block terrane collage, which is a complex collage of crustal units or terrains (herein termed the ‘Solomon block) which have formed and accreted within an intra-oceanic environment since Cretaceous times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and deformation of north and central Malaita, Solomon Islands: tectonic implications for the Ontong Java Plateau-Solomon arc collision, and for the fate of oceanic plateaus

TL;DR: In this paper, a model is presented whereby an upper 5-10-thick flake of the Ontong Java Plateau is obducted over the Solomon arc to form the Malaita island.
