The Tianshan range, located in the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB),
represents an excellent natural laboratory for investigating intracontinental deformation. The …

Abstract The Chinese Eastern Tianshan is an important metallogenic region where major Cu-
Ni ores are mined. Previous research in the region primarily focused on the ore genesis …

Cenozoic uplift in the Tianshan played an important role in driving Proto‐Paratethys Sea
retreat and Asian aridification. However, most paleoclimate studies have focused on the …

The Beishan orogen, a significant component of the southern Altaids, presents an
opportunity for investigating the intracontinental deformation and exhumation history of the …

Abstract The Tianshan Mountains, which formed through the prolonged and complex
subduction-accretion of the paleo-Asian ocean, experienced multiple widespread erosions …

The formation and dynamics of granitoids in an intra-continental setting are crucial for
understanding the architecture and evolution of continental crust. Here, we report …

Abstract The Meso-Cenozoic tectonic activities of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB)
played an important role in controlling the present-day topography of Central Asia. The Altai …

As an important component of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the West Junggar
represents a natural laboratory to explore intracontinental deformation in a complex terrane …

The Karlik Mountains, at the extreme easternmost end of the Tianshan mountain range,
mark the terminus of the modern Central Asian Orogenic Belt and serve as a natural …

The Altai orogenic belt is a main constituent of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, and serves
as a crucial site for studying strain propagation from the Meso-Cenozoic plate margins to the …
