The giant Jiaodong gold province, with more than 5000 t of proven gold resources, is unique
in that its Mesozoic gold deposits are hosted in a Precambrian basement block. There has …

While a general concensus has recently been reached as to the causal relationship
between the subduction of the west Pacific plate and the destruction of the North China …

Eastern China provides a precious opportunity to explore how subduction drives evolution of
the overlying continental lithosphere and to understand the fate of subducted plates. In this …

Abstract The North China Craton (NCC) has been thinned from> 200 km to< 100 km in its
eastern part. The ancient subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) has been replaced by …

It is widely accepted that the lithosphere beneath the eastern portion of the North China
Craton (NCC) has suffered extensive thinning and destruction since the Mesozoic. The …

Tracking the final fate of subducting carbon is crucial to understanding global carbon cycles
and climate changes in the history of the Earth. Available geochemical tracers such as …

The roles of subduction of the Pacific plate and the big mantle wedge (BMW) in the evolution
of east Asian continental margin have attracted lots of attention in past years. This paper …

The genesis of giant gold provinces is an international scientific frontier, in which the source
of a huge amount of gold and the drive for mineralization are key challenges. The …

Southeast Asia is located in an important regional geodynamic intersection zone
surrounded by inward subduction systems on three sides, consisting the largest and most …

Understanding the processes that lead to the lithosphere thinning is a key aspect of
continental geology research. In this paper, we present essential observations and …
