摘要

The East Asia continent and western Pacific oceans are major focuses of geological research as their complex geo-biological environmental and tectonic settings and their interactions with the dense population in the area. Most of the scientific interests and discoveries therefore have been focused on the roles of the region playing in tropical climate systems such as Asian monsoons, inter-tropical convergence zone, the Kuroshio and western Pacific warm pool, which are interactive components in global climate variability patterns such as El Nino - Southern Oscillation and Pacific decadal oscillation that modulate the heat and moisture transfers interhemispherically. The East Asia and western Pacific oceans are also tectonically active areas as they are situated on the boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate and are classical examples of arc-continent collision. Subduction of the South China Sea (SCS) as part of the Eurasian Plate beneath the Luzon Arc on the Philippine Sea Plate has progressively consumed the oceanic crust and the Luzon Arc is presently colliding with the passive margin of Eurasia creating the mountain belt of Taiwan since the Late Miocene. The obliquity between the passive margin and the Luzon Arc seems to result in a "zippering" effect of progressive closure of the SCS towards the south, such that the collision would be older in northern Taiwan than in southern Taiwan. Furthermore, the high rates of convergence high rate of rock uplift and the wet, stormy climate of the sub-tropical typhoon belt with high biological productivity, combine to produce erosion and sediment yield rates amongst the highest in the world. The tropical and subtropical invertebrate and vertebrate fossils are also wonderfully discovered in strata in Taiwan, which provide venues to study evolution and ecology of past organisms, and also frameworks for biostrati-graphic correlations and time-stratigraphy constructions These characteristics make this region one of the world's foremost natural laboratories to study paleontology, stratigraphy, paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, and tectonics relevant to foreland basin development.
