Description:
Orogenic belts, encompassing both accretionary and collisional types, serve as a geological
archive of protracted convergence events between ocean–continent and continent–continent
tectonic plates. The extensive tectonic history of orogenic belts, such as the western Pacific and
Himalayan orogens, has served as a source of inspiration for numerous novel tectonic concepts
and geodynamic models that are currently at the forefront of contemporary solid-earth science.
Despite the incorporation of recent advancements such as observations andmodels, there are still
unresolved inquiries pertaining to the variety of subduction and collisional regions and the
underlying processes involved in subduction and collision. The investigations pertaining to
intricate lithospheric structures, interactions between the crust and mantle, and processes of
melting have received limited recognition. The objective of this Research Topic issue is to
consolidate contemporary studies on the interactions between the Earth’s crust andmantle in the
India–Eurasia convergence system and the Pacific–Eurasia convergence system. This task has
been achieved through the analysis and characterization of the lithospheric architecture of these
regions, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying geodynamic processes
in Southeastern Asia. The present Research Topic volume fallswithinthe realm of geophysics and
geodynamics, encompassing various specific themes that include:
• Crust–mantle interactions of the India–Eurasia and Pacific–Eurasia convergence
systems
• Identification of the lithospheric architecture of the
India–Eurasia and Pacific–Eurasia convergence systems
• Tectonic interactions of the India–Eurasia and Pacific–Eurasia
convergence systems
• Numerical modeling on tectonic interactions
In particular, in the present Research Topic, we present the
current state-of-the-art research on crust–mantle interactions of the
India–Eurasia–Pacific convergence system. Remarkable results have
been achieved by Yang et al., Wang et al., Zhang et al., Xiao et al.,
Deng et al., Liang et al., and Cheng et al.
