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 …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

Abstract The Shuangqing Fe–Pb–Zn–Cu deposit is located in the Xiangride County of
Qinghai Province, China, and is a typical example of skarn deposits in the East Kunlun …

New geochronologic, geochemical, and isotopic data for Mesozoic to Cenozoic igneous
rocks and detrital minerals from the Pamir Mountains help to distinguish major regional …

The late Mesozoic geodynamic evolution of the Lhasa terrane (Tibet) remains controversial
due to a lack of systematic geochemical and chronological data. Here we present the results …

Major and trace element, Sr–Nd–Pb and zircon U–Pb and Hf isotope data are presented for
the newly discovered Abushan volcanic rocks in the southern Qiangtang Terrane, central …

Abstract The East Kunlun Orogenic Belt (EKOB) played an important role in plate tectonics,
magma generation, and crustal evolution. Late Triassic granodiorites and their mafic micro …

The time and mechanism of crustal thickening and initial surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau
remain highly controversial. Here we report on zircon U‐Pb age, and mineral, element, and …

The Beishan complex, located along the Liuyuan suture in the southern Beishan, separates
the Dunhuang terrane from the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The ages and origins …

It is generally accepted that the subduction polarity reversal (SPR) results from the strong
collision of two plates. Yet, the SPR of the Solomon Back‐arc Basin is started in the “soft …
