Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pownall, J., Hall, R., Forster, M., & Lister, G. (2018, April). Insights from easternmost Tethys: Slab rollback, mantle exhumation, and UHT metamorphism in Eastern Indonesia. Presented at 20th EGU General Assembly, EGU2018, Vienna, Austria

The collision of Australia with SE Asia around 23 million years ago marked the closure of the eastern Tethys. Continued convergence of these two continents has since resulted in a complex array of active subduction zones, young mountain belts, and ne...
