AbstractThere are many lode gold deposits and occurrences in the Kalamaili area of the East Junggar, northwestern China. However, little is known about the specifics of ore geology and geochemistry of these gold deposits because of very limited explora…
AbstractAs a part of the Columbia supercontinent, the North China craton is an ideal object for studying the evolution of supercontinent assembly and the mechanism of orogenesis in the Paleoproterozoic. The Jiao-Liao-Ji belt, located in the eastern par…
AbstractCretaceous aeolian deposition is important for understanding variations of the tropical–subtropical atmospheric circulation under the greenhouse background. Nevertheless, detailed records revealing the response of aeolian deposition to rising a…
AbstractRecycling of Fe-rich materials through subduction may affect the element budgets and redox properties of the mantle, thus influencing the differentiation trends and mineralization types of mantle-derived magmas. However, the effects of differen…
AbstractSlab breakoff can explain the postcollisional igneous and metamorphic events in many collisional orogens and triggers the transition from initial continental collision to deep subduction. However, the relationship between the deep-seated geomet…
AbstractHydrothermal eruptions are the most violent and hazardous phenomena within geothermal fields. The largest of these may produce kilometer-sized craters and breccia deposits that are tens of meters thick. The geological and hydrothermal priming t…
AbstractTerminal lakes are important archives of continental hydroclimate and in some cases contain important economic resources. Here, we present an 2.9 m.y. lacustrine carbonate carbon and oxygen stable isotope record from a Great Basin continental d…
AbstractWidespread mud eruptions have been identified along the northern margin of the South China Sea. However, the ultimate driving force for initiation of the eruptions remains to be discussed. Here, we investigated the discovered hydrothermal vents…
AbstractCarboniferous-Permian igneous rocks in the southern Alxa (Inner Mongolia, China) of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt exhibit an oceanward migration trend, which provides an ideal area to reconstruct the process of crust-mantle material …
AbstractLarge-scale N-S shortening induced by India-Asia convergence caused the formation of numerous E-W–trending mountain ranges in Tibet. However, the mechanism(s) of formation of N-S–trending mountain ranges remains elusive. We report on a felsic m…
