The study of large-scale and long-term sedimentary hiatus and exhumation in vast intraplate
basins is of great significance for unravelling their tectonic development, morphodynamics …

The post-collisional Gangdese metallogenic belt with over 45 Mt Cu has attracted worldwide
attention. We report the whole-rock geochemistry, zircon SIMS U–Pb geochronology, and in …

Magmatic arcs are thought to be the primary sites of modern-day continental crustal growth,
and arc crustal sections provide an exceptional opportunity to directly observe the …

Southernmost Tibet exhibits an anomalously twice the normal thickness of average
continental crust. There is no available theory to explain and the driving mechanism remains …

Sulfide-rich hydrous arc cumulates in the lower crust are considered a likely source for
porphyry Cu-forming magmas in post-subduction settings. However, it remains controversial …

Abstract The Late Oligocene-Early Miocene epoch represents a critical stage in the
collisional history of the India-Eurasia dominant collision zone. Within this timeframe, a set of …

The Himalayan orogen, resulting from the Early Cenozoic collision of the Indian and Asian
plates, is an ideal vehicle to study active orogenic processes and test geodynamic models of …

Magmatic arcs are natural laboratories for studying the growth of continental crusts. The
Gangdese arc, southern Tibet, is an archetypal continental magmatic arc that formed due to …

Detrital U-bearing minerals (eg, zircon, apatite) U-Pb ages with specific trace-element
geochemistry, are frequently used in provenance analyses. In this study, we focus on the …

Cretaceous mafic–felsic intrusions are extensively distributed in the West Burma terrane
(Myanmar), but their petrogenesis and tectonic setting still remain unclear. In this study …
