- Abstract
Earth system includes Earth's surface system and deep Earth system. This Special Issue tries to establish a link between these two systems. It contains 46 contributions on Earth system evolution of the Pacific and Indian oceans and the South China Sea. The themes cover the relationship of ocean to continent, tectonic jumping, morphotectonics in the continental margin, back-arc basin formation, formation of transform faults, subduction retreat, hot and cold subduction, actions of typhoons, plume-tail-related hydrothermal activity, sediment transportation and dynamics and others.
