AbstractContinental arc magmatism is crucial in producing juvenile continental crust of andesitic to dacitic composition, yet its impact on the formation of the modern mature continental crust, which is more enriched in potassic and granitic components…
AbstractThe clockwise rotation and southeastward extrusion of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau have played important roles in accommodating the uplift and deformation of the plateau. Numerous paleomagnetic studies have suggested post–late Eocene clockw…
AbstractUnderstanding the mechanisms driving hydrological change in arid Central Asia over a range of time scales is crucial for making predictions for future changes in fragile desert-lake ecosystems. As of yet, the drivers of hydrological changes in …
AbstractResearch into volcanism in southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, within the West Antarctic rift system, has focussed historically on the geochemistry and chronology of its volcanic centers. However, volcanoes in the West Antarctic rift system hav…
AbstractAlthough abundant Neoproterozoic igneous rocks exposed along the periphery of the Yangtze Block of the South China Craton record the tectonic processes of the assembly and breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent, the mechanism that induced the ri…
AbstractNumerical simulations of the paleostress field during a period of tectonic fracture formation and rock failure criteria are used to quantitatively predict the development and occurrence of tectonic fractures induced by the formation of the SB18…
AbstractAs a robust accessory mineral in igneous rocks, the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of zircon can record the lithological differentiation and magmatic–hydrothermal evolution of highly evolved granitic systems. The F-Rb–rich, highl…
AbstractSince the Paleozoic, the tectonic evolution of northeastern Eurasia has been dominated by the Paleo-Asian Ocean and the Paleo-Pacific Ocean tectonic domains. However, the spatiotemporal framework and the timing of tectonic transition between th…
AbstractWe report an integrated comprehensive dataset composed of petrography, pressure-temperature (P-T) calculations, monazite U-Th-Pb ages, and trace-element data from pelitic schists in the eastern Indus-Yarlung suture zone in the Milin area of the…
AbstractStylolites are common dissolution structures in carbonate rocks in the upper crust and document a coupled physical-chemical feedback during pressure solution in rocks. By applying high-resolution electron-based analysis we investigate a rare ex…
