Abstract The Mesozoic Western Pacific subduction system significantly impacted the North
China and South China blocks along the East Asian continental margin and influenced the …

Abstract The East Asian continent records a complex geologic and tectonic history that
involved the amalgamation of several small-to medium-sized blocks from Laurasia or …

The Jiaodong gold province, the largest gold producer in China, formed in a setting
dominated by a 30-my episode of Izanagi plate rollback and widespread extension …

Orogenic gold deposits account for more than 30% of the global gold resources. To
understand the genesis of orogenic gold deposits and ultimately target new orogenic gold …

Phanerozoic orogenic gold mineralization at craton margins is related to the metasomatism
of the lithospheric mantle by crustal material. Slab subduction transfers Au from the crust to …

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 …

The subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) is now suggested by many workers to play a
role in the formation of orogenic gold deposits in active continental margins, given that the …

Basalts and mantle peridotites of mid-ocean ridges are thought to sample Earth's upper
mantle. Osmium isotopes of abyssal peridotites uniquely preserve melt extraction events …

The continental crust is unique to the Earth in the solar system, and controversies remain
regarding its origin, accretion and reworking of continents. The plate tectonics theory has …

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 …
