The continental crust in the overriding plate of the India-Asia collision zone in southern Tibet
is characterized by an overthickened layer of felsic composition with an underlying granulite …

Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

Generation of continental crust in collision zones reflect the interplay between oceanic
subduction and continental collision. The Gangdese continental crust in southern Tibet …

A new data compilation shows that in intermediate to felsic rocks, zircon Eu/Eu*[chondrite
normalized Eu/] correlates with whole rock La/Yb, which has been be used to infer crustal …

An early extensive Neoproterozoic (ca. 900 Ma) continental magmatic arc system covering
hundreds of kilometers has been reported to occur in the South Beishan Orogenic Belt …

Granitoids are a major component of the continental crust. They play a pivotal role in its
evolution, either by adding new material (continental growth), or by reworking older …

We present global and regional correlations between whole-rock values of Sr/Y and La/Yb
and crustal thickness for intermediate rocks from modern subduction-related magmatic arcs …

Global compilations indicate that the geochemistry of arc magmatism is sensitive to Moho
depth. Magmatic products are prevalent throughout the history of Cordilleran orogenesis …

Continental arcs are the sites of production of continental crust, but the origin of these
magmatic systems is not well understood. Although a number of processes have been …

Construction of the Andes has been governed largely by fluctuating contractional, neutral,
and extensional tectonic regimes during differing degrees of mechanical coupling along the …
