Reconstructing the Late Palaeozoic – Mesozoic topographic evolution of the Chinese Tian Shan: available data and remaining uncertainties [PDF]
Advances in Geosciences, 2013 The topographic evolution of continents and especially the growth and dismembering of mountain ranges plays a major role in the tectonic evolution of orogenic systems, as well as in regional or global climate changes.

Tectonics and human evolution [PDF]
Antiquity, 2006 The authors propose a new model for the origins of humans and their ecological adaptation. The evolutionary stimulus lies not in the savannah but in broken, hilly rough country where the early hominins could hunt and hide. Such ‘roughness’, generated by tectonic and volcanic movement characterises not only the African rift valley but probably the whole

Normal fault evolution in Lishu Fault Depression, southern Songliao Basin
Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2021 The formation of the Songliao Basin was affected by multidirectional tectonic stress and various peripheral structural belts, and has a complicated geological structure and basin evolution process.

The Tectonic Evolution of Asia [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1997 Asia is the youngest continent on our planet and has been assembled largely over the past 400 m.y. In the past decade, following rapid developments on the economic front and political transformations in Asia, Earth science research has continuously become more important for both natural resources evaluation and hazards reduction. Consequently, more and

The evolution of plate tectonics [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2018 To understand how plate tectonics became Earth's dominant mode of convection, we need to address three related problems. (i) What was Earth's tectonic regime before the present episode of plate tectonics began? (ii) Given the preceding tectonic regime, how did plate tectonics become established?

Tectonic controls on the pre-salt hydrocarbon distribution in block A of Campos Basin, Brazil
Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2020 Block A in the southern Campos Basin in the deep water of Brazil has complicated pre-salt structures as a result of the Late Jurassic tectonic activity. Based on new 3D seismic and drilling data, the geological attributes, fault development and tectonic ...
