Quaternary hinterland evolution of the active Banda Arc: Surface uplift and neotectonic deformation recorded by coral terraces at Kisar, Indonesia.

Highlights: [•] Direct test of lithospheric versus crustal mechanisms of uplift in active collision. [•] Surface uplift rate of 0.5m/ka calculated for Kisar Island in Banda Arc. [•] May be one of the youngest exhumed metamorphic complexes on earth. [•] Active emergence and uplift attributed to combination of thrusting and domal extrusion along shear zone. [•] “Fresh” coral fragments represent possible tsunami deposits. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
