2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: "Gillian R. Foulger" <g.r.foulger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> *Dear colleagues,* We are glad to let you know that our proposal on special issue of Pacific-Asian Tectonics is formally accepted by eidtiorial of Earth-Science Reviews. Now you can submit your manuscript to *VSI: Pacific-Asian Tectonics *when you submit it. East Asia is the region that lies between the Tibet Plateau and the West Pacific Ocean. Since the breakup of Pangea in the Mesozoic it has been a superconvergent zone. Many continental blocks of various sizes assembled to form the region, creating world-class orogenic belts and unique metallogenic systems. Some stable cratons were destroyed and replaced. The Mesozoic Plateau in East China collapsed and was onlapped by Meso-Cenozoic basins that are the main targets of oil and gas exploration in China. Many subduction-related arcs developed, e.g., the Mesozoic Yanshanian subduction-related arc in the Cenozoic circum-southeast Asia subduction system, which is related to retreat of the west Pacific subduction system. The terrain and geomorphology underwent tremendous change and is today characterized by the Cenozoic Tibet Plateau to the west and marginal sea basins to the east. Given this history, East Asia is exceptionally rich in diverse geological phenomena related to processes of major global significance in Earth history. It presents a vast natural laboratory within which some of the most topical and fundamental problems in Plate Tectonics can be addressed. These include the processes and dynamics that build tectonic plates, including intraplate volcanism and deformation, ophiolite obduction, and the impingement of oceanic plateaus on subduction zones, those that destroy themâ??craton wasting, orogeny collapse, plate fragmentation and plate boundary processes, and those that simply move themâ??shearing and boundary normal motion, studied as plate kinematics. We are looking forward to seeing your big contribution. *Please notice the proposed time schedule:* Deadline for first submission of manuscripts 15st June 2020 Completion of first review round 15th September, 2020 Deadline for revised manuscripts 15th November, 2020 Completion of second reviews 31st December, 2020 Deadline for 2nd revisions of manuscripts 28th February, 2021 Final compilation of the volume and completion of the mini-review/preface and front matter 31st March 2021 *In addition, for authors:* â?¢Papers are published as stand-alone papers a few weeks after acceptance, with a volume title and guest editor listing in the contents lists. After the last paper is accepted the volume collection is published as a â??virtualâ?? special issue. This process represents a considerable time-saving for authors. â?¢Review-type papers will be in free colour print. â?¢The volume will be made free to view for 3 months. 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
