    Description / Table of Contents: The rivers of East Asia are some of the largest and most important to human society and the global economy. They drain a variety of terrains from the Tibetan plateau, the hill country of southern China and the steep mountains of Taiwan. The sediment they carry potentially records the long-term evolution of continental environments within the marine stratigraphic record. Sediments reaching the ocean have to traverse the wide continental shelves where they may be reworked and transported by longshore currents, typhoon storm waves, as well as large ocean currents such as the Kuroshio. Deciphering any marine record requires us to understand the dynamics of sediment transport on the continental shelves, and this region acts as a global type example of such processes. Studies in this volume span a wide range of subdisciplines in the marine sciences and provide new insights into how sediment is distributed offshore after leaving the river mouths.

    Description / Table of Contents: The Earth's climate varies through geological time as a result of external, orbital processes, as well as the positions of continents, growth of mountains and the opening and closure of oceanic gateways. Climate modelling suggests that the intensity of the Asian monsoon should correlate, at least in part, with the uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalaya, as well as the evolution of gateways and the retreat of shallow seas in Central Asia. Long-term reconstructions of both mountain building and monsoon activity are key to testing the proposed links. This collection of papers presents a series of new studies documenting the variations of the Asian monsoon on orbital and tectonic timescales, together with the impact this has had on environmental conditions. The issue of which proxies are best suited to measuring monsoons is addressed, as is the effect that the monsoon has had on erosion and the formation of the stratigraphic record both on and offshore.

    Notes: [Auszug] Uplift of mountains driven by tectonic forces can influence regional climate as well as regional drainage patterns, which in turn control the discharge of eroded sediment to the ocean. But the nature of the interactions between tectonic forces, climate and drainage evolution remains contested. ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Between about 58 and 52 million years ago, during the late Palaeocene and early Eocene epochs, the Earth's climate warmed considerably. What was the cause of this unusually long warming trend? Writing in Geology, Hudson and Magoon put forward an idea that adds to thinking on the subject. The ...

    Notes: Abstract  The Dras 1 Volcanic Formation of the Ladakh Himalaya, India, represents the eastern, upper crustal equivalent of the lower crustal gabbros and mantle peridotites of the Kohistan Arc exposed in Pakistan. Together these form a Cretaceous intraoceanic arc now located within the Indus Suture zone between India and Eurasia. During the Late Cretaceous, the Dras–Kohistan Arc, which was located above a north-dipping subduction zone, collided with the south-facing active margin of Eurasia, resulting in a switch from oceanic to continental arc volcanism. In the present study we analyzed samples from the pre-collisional Dras 1 Volcanic Formation and the postcollisional Kardung Volcanic Formation for a suite of trace elements and Nd isotopes. The Kardung Volcanic Formation shows more pronounced light rare earth element enrichment, higher Th/La and lower ɛNd values compared with the Dras 1 Volcanic Formation. These differences are consistent with an increase in the reworking of the continental crust by sediment subduction through the arc after collision. As little as 20% of the Nd in the Dras 1 Volcanic Formation might be provided by sources such as the Karakoram, while approximately 45% of the Nd in the Kardung Volcanic Formation is from this source. However, even before collision, the Dras–Kohistan Arc shows geochemical evidence for more continental sediment contamination than is seen in modern western Pacific arcs, implying its relative proximity to the Eurasian landmass. Comparison of the lava chemistry in the Dras–Kohistan Arc with that in the forearc turbidites suggests that these sediments are partially postcollisional, Jurutze Formation and not all pre-collisional Nindam Formation. Thus, the Dras–Eurasia collision can be dated as Turonian–Santonian (83.5–93.5 Ma), older than it was previously considered to be, but consistent with radiometric ages from Kohistan.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Continental collision in the Aegean area has produced a collage of micro-continental blocks, which were accreted to the active margin of Eurasia in Early Tertiary times. Studies undertaken in the Argolis Peninsula of southern Greece, located at the southern end of the Pelagonian continental terrane, confirm that this block was rifted from Gondwana in Mid Triassic times. By Mid Jurassic times at the latest, actively spreading oceanic basins had opened in both the Pindos and Vardar Zones on either side of this block. Identification of Late Cretaceous oceanic basalts within an accretionary complex in the eastern Argolis Peninsula extends the history of the Neotethys beyond Late Jurassic ophiolite emplacement, previously believed to be the result of continental collision. The Cretaceous ocean basins were relict Jurassic features, as no rifting event is known which can account for their formation following ophiolite obduction. After a phase of Late Cretaceous oceanic spreading in the eastern Vardar oceanic basin, Early Tertiary collision occurred as a result of northeast-dipping subduction along the eastern margins of both Pindos and Vardar branches of the Neotethys. Two distinct nappe emplacement vectors are identified in the Argolis Peninsula. After accounting for Neotectonic rotations these are interpreted to reflect SW-directed orthogonal collision in the west and NW-directed emplacement in the east, resulting from tranpressional collision along the southern end of the Pelagonian block.
    Abstract: Résumé Dans la région égéenne, la collision continentale a engendré des blocs micro-continentaux qui ont été accrétionnés à la marge active de l'Eurasie au Tertiaire inférieur. Des études menées dans la presqu'île d'Argolide (Grèce méridionale), située à l'extrémité sud du “terrane” de Pélagonie, montrent que ce bloc a été détaché du Gondwana au Trias moyen. Au Jurassique moyen au plus tard, des bassins océaniques en expansion active s'étaient ouverts de chaque côté de ce bloc, dans les zones du Pinde et du Vardar. Des basaltes océaniques tardi-crétacés ont été identifiés au sein d'un complexe d'accrétionnement en Argolide orientale; cette découverte permet d'étendre l'histoire de la Néotéthys au-delà de la mise en place des ophiolites tardi-jurassiques considérées jusqu'ici comme témoins de la collision continentale. Les bassins océaniques crétacés doivent être des reliques des structures jurassiques, car depuis l'obduction des ophiolites on ne connaît plus aucun rifting qui aurait pu provoquer leur formation. A une phase d'extension d'âge crétacé supérieur dans le bassin océanique du Vardar oriental a succédé la collision au Tertiaire inférieur, résultat d'une subduction descendant vers le NE le long de la bordure est des deux bassins du Pinde et du Vardar. En Argolide en peut identifier deux directions de mise en place des nappes. Après déduction des rotations dues à la néotectonique, ces directions peuvent s'interpréter comme le reflet d'une collision orthogonale vers le SW peuvent s'interpréter comme le reflet d'une collision orthogonale vers le SW dans l'ouest de la presqu'île et d'une mise en place vers le NW dans sa partie est, résultant d'une collision avec transpression le long du bord sud du bloc pélagonien.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Durch Kontinentkollision ist in der Ägäis eine Vielzahl von Mikrokontinenten entstanden, die im frühen Tertiär an den aktiven Kontinentalrand Eurasiens angeschweißt wurden. Untersuchungen auf der Halbinsel Argolis, Süd-Griechenland, ehemals am Südende des Pelagonia-Terranes gelegen, zeigen, daß dieser Block in der Mittleren Trias von Gondwana getrennt wurde. Spätestens im Mittel-Jura hatten sich beiderseits des Blockes, im Pindos und Vardargebiet Ozeanbecken mit aktiven Spreadingzongen gebildet. In einem Akkretionsgebiet auf der östlichen Argolis konnten spätkretazische ozeanische Basalte gefunden werden. Die Entwicklungsgeschichte der Neotethys kann dadurch bis nach der spätjurassischen Ophiolithbildung ausgedehnt werden, die früher als das Ergebnis einer Kontinentkollision angesehen wurde. Bei den kretazischen Ozeanbecken muß es sich um Relikte aus der Jurazeit handeln, da nach der Ophiolithobduktion keine Riftereignisse mehr bekannt sind, die zu ihrer Bildung geführt haben könnten. Nach einer Spreadingphase im östlichen Vardarbecken in der späten Kreide, begann im frühen Tertiär die NE-abtauchende Subduktion der Neotethys an den Osträndern der Pindos- und Vardarbecken. Auf Argolis finden sich zwei verschiedene Eingleitrichtungen der Decken. Wenn man die neotektonische Rotation in Betracht zieht, handelt es sich dabei um eine ursprünglich SW-gerichtete orthogonale Kollision im W der Halbinsel und ein NW-gerichtetes Eingleiten im E als Ergebnis transpressionaler Kollision entlang des S-Randes des Pelagonischen Blockes.

    Notes: Abstract  The Côte d’Ivoire–Ghana transform margin is bounded to the south by a prominent marginal ridge. ODP Leg 159 shipboard analyses on sediments from four sites document three distinct transform margin sedimentary and tectonic stages of evolution: (1) an intracontinental stage of transform faulting recorded in deformed lacustrine to marine siliciclastic sequences; (2) a marginal ridge uplift stage, recorded by shallow water limestones, appears coeval with the passing of a hot, oceanic spreading center just south of the sediment wedge; and (3) cool ing subsidence of the transform margin recorded in bathyal to abyssal sediments emphasizes a passive margin stage. These results are consistent with previously published models of evolution.
