AbstractThis study used systematic coring, hyperspectral scans, carbonate/siliciclastic analysis, and stable isotope measurements to evaluate environmental controls on large microbial buildup evolution. Buildups initiated on a discontinuous transgressi…
AbstractThe rapid warming events (hyperthermals) of late Paleocene to early Eocene time—the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM2/H1), H2, I1, and I2—were recorded in marine and terrestrial facies in the form of negati…
AbstractDisconformities, i.e., minor surfaces of non-deposition and/or erosion, are considered to be ubiquitous in stratigraphic successions, but their temporal distribution and durations are difficult to determine. Here, we analyzed the stratigraphic …
AbstractVolcanic eruption records provide key information for hazard planning but suffer from a time-dependent loss of resolution, hindering long-term evaluations of volcano behavior. Here, we investigate an exceptional sedimentary sequence from Lake C…
AbstractThe Fisher Valley basin (FVB), located adjacent to the Onion Creek salt diapir, Paradox basin, Utah, USA, constitutes one of the thickest collections of Quaternary sediments within the Colorado Plateau. These sediments are important for constra…
AbstractThe dehydration of hydrous minerals in subduction zones is a crucial factor affecting water circulation and altering physical properties at depth. High-conductivity anomalies observed in magnetotelluric studies have been commonly attributed to …
AbstractNortheast China has undergone a complex tectonic history since the Mesozoic driven by its tectonic interaction with the Paleo-Pacific/Pacific plate. This history has been recorded across the Zhangguangcai Range making it a key region for invest…
AbstractGranite pegmatite lithium deposits, characterized by high mineralization and easy exploitation, serve as a significant source of lithium resources. Currently, there remains widespread controversy over whether the genesis of this deposit type sh…
AbstractAccretionary complexes are major tectonic units located above subduction zones, and they are pivotal in better understanding the accretionary mechanisms of subducting oceanic plates and the tectonic evolution of fossil oceans. In this study, we…
