The heterogeneous Sundaland region was assembled by closure of Tethyan oceans and addition continental fragments. Its Mesozoic Cenozoic history is illustrated a new plate tectonic reconstruction. A block (Luconia–Dangerous Grounds) rifted from east Asia added to eastern north Borneo in the Cretaceous. Continental blocks that originated western Australia Late Jurassic are now Borneo, Java Sulawesi. West Burma not Jurassic. Banda (SW Borneo) Argo (East Java–West Sulawesi) separated collided...
Abstract Reconstructions of SE Asia at 5 Ma intervals for the past 50 are presented. They constrained by new data from Philippine Sea plate, which forms eastern boundary region, recent interpretations South China and Eurasian continental margin, forming western boundary, known motions Indian-Australian plate to south. An attempt is made satisfy geological palaeomagnetic region. The implications these reconstructions Tertiary evolution discussed in light other There two regionally important...
The extraordinary species richness and endemism of the Indo-Australian Archipelago (IAA) exists in one most geologically dynamic regions planet. provenance its biota has been debated, particularly area known as Wallacea. Application molecular genetic approaches a better understanding region's complex geology have stimulated much recent biogeographic work IAA. We review phylogenetic phylogeographic studies light current geological evidence. Present distribution patterns shaped largely by...
Geology provides the basis for understanding distributions of faunas and floras in Southeast Asia but only via a complex interplay plate movements, palaeogeography, ocean circulation climate. grew incrementally by addition continental fragments, mainly rifted from Australia, added to margins Sundaland as result subduction. was an almost permanent land area beginning Mesozoic. The fragments Southwest Borneo later East Java–West Sulawesi formed much larger emergent Late Cretaceous that...
Abstract The Sundaland core of SE Asia is a heterogeneous assemblage Tethyan sutures and Gondwana fragments. Its complex basement structure was one major influence on Cenozoic tectonics; the rifting history north Australian margin another. Fragments that rifted from Australia in Jurassic collided with Cretaceous terminated subduction. From 90 to 45 Ma largely surrounded by inactive margins localized strike-slip deformation, extension At began move north, subduction resumed beneath Sundaland....
Collision between Australia and SE Asia began in the Early Miocene reduced former wide ocean them to a complex passage which connects Pacific Indian Oceans. Today, Indonesian Throughflow passes through this gateway plays an important role global thermohaline flow. The surrounding region contains maximum diversity for many marine terrestrial organisms. Reconstruction of geologically is essential understanding its oceanic atmospheric circulation, climate impacts, origin biodiversity. The...
The continental core of Southeast (SE) Asia, Sundaland, was assembled from Gondwana fragments by the Early Mesozoic. Continental blocks rifted Australia in Jurassic [South West (SW) Borneo, East Java-West Sulawesi-Sumba], and Woyla intraoceanic arc Sumatra, were added to Sundaland Cretaceous. These probably included emergent areas could have carried a terrestrial flora fauna. Sarawak, offshore Luconia-Dangerous Grounds areas, Palawan include Asian material. represent wide accretionary zone...
Streams and rivers regulate nitrogen transport (N) to downstream ecosystems. Rates of N uptake can be high in streams, but controls on the variation rates among streams are not known. We measured ammonium (NH + 4 ) nitrate (NO − 3 velocities (V f compared these with whole‐reach estimates gross primary production (GPP) community respiration (CR) 11 low‐nitrogen Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. predicted that increased metabolism would positively relate higher demand because stoichiometric...
Streams control the timing and delivery of fluvial nutrient export from watersheds, hydraulic processes such as transient storage may affect uptake transformation. Although we expect that retain water will increase uptake, relationship between is not clear. To examine this relationship, injected a conservative tracer nutrients (ammonium phosphate) into 13 streams for total 37 injections at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF), New Hampshire. Transient was estimated by fitting solute data...
Interactions between continents and oceans are a frontier area for the Earth sciences in 21st century. An AGU Chapman Conference, Continent‐Ocean within East Asian Marginal Seas, examined nature of these interactions marginal seas east Asia. The objective was to highlight both recent advances, especially contributions made by Ocean Drilling Program (ODP)semi; as well identify key future science goals. types continent‐ocean discussed were wide‐ranging, including climate‐tectonic interactions,...
