Secular evolution of continents and the Earth system
Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

[HTML][HTML] Cenozoic lithospheric architecture and metallogenesis in Southeastern Tibet
Ore systems are located in zones of enhanced and focused heat and fluids flux within the
lithosphere. In order to target deep ore deposits under cover, a better understanding of …

Oxygen isotopes trace the origins of Earth's earliest continental crust
Much of the current volume of Earth's continental crust had formed by the end of the
Archaean eon (2.5 billion years ago), through melting of hydrated basaltic rocks at depths of …

No evidence for high-pressure melting of Earth's crust in the Archean
Much of the present-day volume of Earth's continental crust had formed by the end of the
Archean Eon, 2.5 billion years ago, through the conversion of basaltic (mafic) crust into sodic …

[HTML][HTML] The formation of Neoarchean continental crust in the south-east Superior Craton by two distinct geodynamic processes
The formation of the continental crust in the early Earth, and the geodynamics that drove it,
are fundamental to understanding the evolution of our planet, but remain intensely debated …

Voluminous continental growth of the Altaids and its control on metallogeny
The Altaids is generally considered to be the largest Phanerozoic accretionary orogen on
Earth, but it is unclear whether it was associated with extensive continental crustal growth …

Widespread reworking of Hadean-to-Eoarchean continents during Earth's thermal peak
The nature and evolution of Earth's crust during the Hadean and Eoarchean is largely
unknown owing to a paucity of material preserved from this period. However, clues may be …

Archaean multi-stage magmatic underplating drove formation of continental nuclei in the North China Craton
The geodynamic processes that formed Earth's earliest continents are intensely debated.
Particularly, the transformation from ancient crustal nuclei into mature Archaean cratons is …

Every zircon deserves a date: selection bias in detrital geochronology
Detrital zircon geochronology can help address stratigraphic-to lithospheric-scale geological
questions. The approach is reliant on statistically robust, representative age distributions that …
