| Scope | Subduction, collision, rifting, massive volcanism, hazards, mass extinctions... Present day East Asia has lived on the edge of the longest lasting tectonic system on Earth: the interface between the Pacific and Tethyan oceans (sensu lato). East Asia is a large mosaic of tectonic elements. The assembly history of these tectonic elements until making Asia to its present form is long and difficult. A collage of cratons, microplates, volcanic arcs and oceanic plates that have been interacting in a dance of geodynamic complexity lasting 550 million years. Further complicating, Asia has suffered a protracted record of intra-continental deformation. As a result, E Asia show an impressive tectonic record, which has caused a profound effect on the evolution of the Earth's interior and surface: affecting to the global mass distribution, climate and life. This session will review the E Asia evolution as a multidisciplinary forum. We invite researchers from all branches of geoscience to present their research on any aspect of E Asia geo-evolution, with the ultimate end of understanding the geodynamic, tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of E Asia and its consequences in climate and life. | |
