During the Cenozoic this area experimented tectonic inversion from extension to compression during Late Eocene-Oligocene, and Pliocene 27 , 78 , 79 (Fig. 6 ).…”

The stretching of the lithosphere leading to back-arc basins formation generally develops behind arc-trench systems and is considered the consequence of slab retreat relative to the upper plate. Here, we examine the deformation regime evolution within the overriding plate due to subduction processes, using thermo-mechanical numerical simulations. We explore the north-eastern Eurasia plate boundary and the mechanisms of subducting Pacific plate since 57 Ma. During this time interval, several extensional basins formed along the Eurasia margin, such as the East China Sea, the Japan Sea, and the Kuril basin. Here, we increased the simulation complexity, with the inclusion of (i) the kinematic variability of the Pacific plate over the geological past with respect to a fixed Eurasia, incorporating time-dependent (i.e., temporally evolving) velocities computed from plate motion reconstructions; (ii) a Low-Velocity Zone within the asthenosphere, and (iii) a horizontal eastward mantle flow. Our results show a crucial role of the mantle flow for the development of lithospheric extension and back-arc basin opening, and a main kinematic control of the subduction trench position, which advances and retreats, into distance intervals in the order of $$\sim$$ ∼ 100 km, and providing stages of compression and extension in a back-arc basin.

“…In East and Southeast Asia, the stratigraphic data and depositional environment (Collins et al., 2017) show that the majority of the SCS was accumulated marine deposits, whereas the Sunda Shelf (on the south side of the SCS) accumulated fluvial–lacustrine deposits during the middle and late Miocene. In North China, drilling cores, lithofacies, and seismic data (Gao et al., 2020; Tan et al., 2020; Yi et al., 2016; Yi et al., 2003; Zhang et al., 2021) show that the Bohai Bay and the Yellow Sea basins were filled with fluvial and lacustrine clastic sediments (Figure S1 in Supporting Information ), indicating that they were still a terrestrial environment during the Neogene. Based on this evidence, compared to previous reconstructions, we provided more realistic land–sea distribution conditions (Figure 2 and Figure S1 in Supporting Information ), for the Sunda Shelf (more exposed), the Bohai Bay, and the Yellow Sea basins (both exposed) during the Miocene.…”

“…With these constraints, we provide two new paleogeographic boundary conditions for Miocene climate modeling. We reconstructed the global topography and bathymetry conditions for ∼14 Ma (after the MMCT) and ∼6 Ma (after the LMC), by using a plate kinematics model (Müller et al., 2016), oceanic crust paleo‐ages (Müller et al., 2016), sediment thicknesses (Dutkiewicz et al., 2017), fossil collections from the Paleobiology Database (PBDB), numerous geological data from the literature (e.g., Khan et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2021), and previous paleogeographic reconstructions (e.g., Scotese & Wright, 2018).…”

During the Miocene, major global cooling occurred during two intervals: the middle Miocene (∼14–13 Ma) and the late Miocene (∼7‐6 Ma). The Antarctic Ice Sheet expanded substantially at ∼14–13 Ma, and glaciation in the Northern Hemisphere was initiated at ∼7–6 Ma. Although the causes of these two global cooling events remain unclear, paleoclimate modeling provides an important approach for investigating the mechanisms. However, paleoclimate modeling relies on paleogeographic boundary conditions, and many uncertainties remain regarding the land–sea distribution, topography, and bathymetry of the Miocene; specifically, previous published paleogeographic reconstructions for the middle and late Miocene show several discrepancies with each other. Here, we present two new sets of global topographic and bathymetric boundary conditions for the middle Miocene (∼14 Ma) and late Miocene (∼6 Ma). Our new reconstructions use a published plate kinematics model, oceanic lithospheric paleo‐ages, and oceanic sediment thicknesses and incorporate global fossil records, stratigraphy, lithofacies, paleoenvironment, and paleoelevation data. With these data, we further constrain the conditions of several important intercontinental and marginal seas surrounding Eurasia and the Arctic, the depth of major seaways in tropical latitudes and middle‐high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, and global paleotopography, especially that of the Tibetan Plateau and the Andes.
