Subduction initiation of the Bangong–Nujiang Tethys Ocean, Tibetan Plateau

Y Liu, Q Zhai, P Hu, Y Tang, R Guo - Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2022 - Elsevier
The initiation of subduction is widely recognized as a critical process associated with the
evolution of the meso-Tethys Ocean. Here, we present zircon U–Pb, Lu–Hf isotope, and …
