Is the Jurassic (Yanshanian) intraplate tectonics of North China due to westward indentation of the North China block? [PDF]
, 2012 International audienceThe northern mountains of Beijing are the type locality of the Mesozoic Yanshanian orogen. Our structural study emphasizes the importance of dextral strike-slip for the formation of this intracontinental belt.

Recent Kattegat earthquakes — evidence of active intraplate tectonics in southern Scandinavia [PDF]
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1991 Abstract On June 15, 1985, an earthquake with a local magnitude M L (UPP) value of 4.6 occurred in the Kattegat area close to the Swedish-Danish border. It was one of the largest earthquakes in Sweden and Denmark during this century. Two more events occurred in the same area: on April 1, 1986 ( M L (UPP) = 4.2), and May 24, 1990 ( M L (UPP) = 3.3)

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Primordial neon and the deep mantle origin of kimberlites [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe genesis of kimberlites is unclear despite the economic and scientific interest surrounding these diamond-bearing magmas. One critical question is whether they tap ancient, deep mantle domains or the shallow convecting mantle with partial melting ...

Onset of double subduction controls plate motion reorganisation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsFace-to-face double subduction systems, in which two oceanic plates subduct toward each other, are essential elements of plate tectonics. Two subduction zones in such systems are typically uneven in age and their spatially and temporally variable ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The tectonics of East Asia are notoriously complex. Consisting of an intricate patchwork of microplates and accreted terranes, even the Cenozoic tectonic history of the region remains controversial, and many differing reconstructions have been proposed ...

Archaean multi-stage magmatic underplating drove formation of continental nuclei in the North China Craton [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe geodynamic processes that formed Earth’s earliest continents are intensely debated. Particularly, the transformation from ancient crustal nuclei into mature Archaean cratons is unclear, primarily owing to the paucity of well-preserved Eoarchaean ...
