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 …

This paper presents a review on the rock associations, geochemistry, and spatial distribution
of Mesozoic-Paleogene igneous rocks in Northeast Asia. The record of magmatism is used …

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 …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Abstract The Jurassic stratigraphy in China is dominated by continental sediments. Marine
facies and marine-terrigenous facies sediment have developed locally in the Qinghai-Tibet …

Oxygen fugacity (fO 2) is a key factor that controls the formation of porphyry Cu deposits.
Porphyry Cu deposits are typically oxidized, but when and how porphyry magmas gain their …

Zircon rare earth element (REE) oxy-barometers have been widely used to calculate magma
oxygen fugacity. However, sometimes confusing results are obtained, such as extremely …

East Asia is characterized by an east-west topographic dichotomy on the two sides of the
North-South Gravity Lineament (NSGL), a feature not associated with major basement …

Adakites with continental origin have K-rich compositions distinctive from the sodic,
subduction-related adakites and are generally considered as partial melting products of …

Abstract The widespread Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous (J2-K1) intraplate tectonism of
East Asia has recently been proposed to reflect the flat subduction of the Izanagi plate …
