AbstractThe Miocene Kaiserstuhl volcanic complex in the Rhine graben rift is known for simultaneously exposing both intrusive and erupted (pyroclastic) calciocarbonatites. This makes Kaiserstuhl a promising candidate for studying the field and genetic …
AbstractTo understand the orogenic cyclicity that built the northern Yili magmatic arc in the southern Balhkash-Yili arc of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, we synthesize its tectono-magmatic processes using new and existing U-Pb geochronological dates…
AbstractClinochlore is a major hydrous mineral in subduction zones, and its thermophysical properties at high temperature and pressure are critical to the thermal structures of subduction zones. Here, we used the pulse heating method to measure thermal…
AbstractThe Marinoan diamictites and the overlying cap carbonates at continental margins bear key information on the paleo-environment evolution during the collapse of Snowball Earth, such as the timespan of intense chemical weathering. Such a sediment…
AbstractThe timing of deformation within and adjacent to the Helena salient of west-central Montana is poorly constrained relative to other segments of the Sevier fold-and-thrust belt. This study presents low-temperature thermochronology data from the …
AbstractSiliciclastic muds (clay- and silt-sized sediment) concentrate physical and chemical weathering products. However, both rock composition and climate can affect the mineralogy and geochemistry of these sediments. We quantitatively assessed the i…
AbstractQuantitative investigations of ancient rivers usually provide insights into either instantaneous or mean flow conditions. There is a critical gap between these time scales of investigation, which reflects the intermittency of flow and sediment …
AbstractHow and when the ocean-continent transition started in the western Altaids remain controversial. The paleomagnetic signals recorded by late Paleozoic rocks in the Turpan-Hami block can provide critical constraints on this issue. We conducted a …
AbstractExhumed (ultra)high-pressure ([U]HP) metamorphic rocks are markers of paleo-subduction zones and can provide crucial implications for the geodynamic evolution of subduction-exhumation. A variety of (U)HP metamorphic rocks from many collisional …
AbstractIt remains controversial whether the influence of hydrothermal fluids on dolomite reservoirs is dominated by dissolution or precipitation. In this study, the influence of multistage hydrothermal fluids on the dolomite reservoirs of the Lower Or…
