Abstract

The Alpine orogeny is a consequence of the collision of Africa with Eurasia, which eliminated the Western Tethys Ocean. Processes similar to those that would have taken place early in that collision can today be seen operating in the islands of the Indo-Pacific gateway between Southeast Asia and Australia and have the potential to offer insights into the beginnings of orogenesis in the Alps. Studies of the gateway area emphasise the importance of the impact on subduction zones of topography on the downgoing plate, and of the effects of flows in the asthenosphere on lithosphere tectonics.

早期阿尔卑斯山造山运动的东亚类似物

阿尔卑斯造山运动是非洲与欧亚大陆碰撞的结果，碰撞消除了西特提斯洋。今天，在东南亚和澳大利亚之间的印度-太平洋门户岛屿上，可以看到与碰撞早期类似的过程，这些过程有可能为阿尔卑斯山造山运动的开端提供启示。对门户地区的研究强调了下行板块地形对俯冲带的影响，以及岩石圈流动对岩石圈构造的影响。

期刊介绍： The Swiss Journal of Geosciences publishes original research and review articles, with a particular focus on the evolution of the Tethys realm and the Alpine/Himalayan orogen. By consolidating the former Eclogae Geologicae Helvetiae and Swiss Bulletin of Mineralogy and Petrology, this international journal covers all disciplines of the solid Earth Sciences, including their practical applications. The journal gives preference to articles that are of wide interest to the international research community, while at the same time recognising the importance of documenting high-quality geoscientific data in a regional context, including the occasional publication of maps.
