Reassessment of continental growth during the accretionary history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt
We argue that the production of mantle-derived or juvenile continental crust during the
accretionary history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) has been grossly …

Temporal and spatial variations of Mesozoic magmatism and deformation in the North China Craton: Implications for lithospheric thinning and decratonization
Abstract Mesozoic (Triassic–Cretaceous) magmatic rocks and structural deformation are
widely distributed in the North China Craton (NCC) and are crucial to understanding the …

Archean eclogite-facies oceanic crust indicates modern-style plate tectonics
Establishing when modern-style plate tectonics with deep subduction began on Earth is one
of the biggest questions in geosciences today. A lack of Archean age (> 2.5 billion y ago …

Collision vs. subduction-related magmatism: two contrasting ways of granite formation and implications for crustal growth
Earth's continental crust is dominantly made of buoyant, felsic igneous material (granitoids),
that was ultimately extracted from the mantle as a result of Earth's differentiation. Since felsic …
