Field, geochronological and geophysical studies show that many igneous bodies are
emplaced incrementally, growing by accretion of successive magma sheets. The existence …

In all reconstructions published during the last two decades, the Austroalpine and the
correlative Southalpine basement units of the Eastern Alps were considered to represent a …

Nonmarine biostratigraphic/biochronologic schemes have been created for all or parts of the
late Carboniferous–Middle Triassic using palynomorphs, megafossil plants, conchostracans …

We studied the stratigraphy, composition, and paleomagnetic properties of lateritic
weathering profiles of Permian age from northern Iran and western Karakoram, Pakistan. A …

One of the most significant climate changes in the history of Earth happened during the late
Palaeozoic, with the melting of the Gondwanan ice sheets and a progressive warming that …

Outside the realm of paleomagnetic studies, it has been a long held tenet that Pangea
amalgamated into and disseminated from essentially the same paleogeography, the …

The discovery of exhumed continental mantle and hyper-extended crust in present-day
magma-poor rifted margins is at the origin of a paradigm shift within the research field of …

In the orogenic belts of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), many mafic and felsic
plutons are temporally and spatially associated with orogen-scale strike-slip faults. The …

Granitic melts may form either directly, by melting of pre-existing crustal rocks, or by
fractionation of mafic to intermediate magmas, typically mantle-derived. Each model is …

Detrital studies that utilize zircon U–Pb geochronology and fission-track (FT)
thermochronometry are subject to a range of potential sources of bias that should be …
