The circulation of magma is typically accompanied by the transfer of materials and thermal
energy that can significantly alter the compositions and properties of sedimentary rocks …

East Asia is characterized by an east-west topographic dichotomy on the two sides of the
North-South Gravity Lineament (NSGL), a feature not associated with major basement …

Sedimentologic and tectonic records in the Qiangtang Basin, northern Tibet, indicate a
negative basin inversion during the Late Triassic, which reveals Paleo-Tethys closure and …

Understanding the processes that lead to the lithosphere thinning is a key aspect of
continental geology research. In this paper, we present essential observations and …

The evolution of the major rivers originating from the SE Tibetan Plateau has been a
research hotspot due to a close connection between tectonic events, geomorphological …

Provenance analysis of sedimentary basins is a direct way to understand the uplift of
orogenic belts, basin deposition, and evolution of large rivers. A series of Mesozoic and …

Molybdenum (Mo) is an important globally strategic metal and mostly occurs as molybdenite
(MoS 2) in diverse Mo deposits. The Yuku ore field includes multiple porphyry-skarn Mo …

Abstract The northern South China Sea (SCS) margin developed on a thinning crust
comprising basement-involved structures inherited from the post-orogenic extension of the …

Subduction of young seafloors straddling mid-ocean ridges (MOR) is an inevitable
consequence of plate tectonics. Surprisingly, this process correlates globally with prolonged …

The intracontinental response to plate-boundary and mantle processes, such as subduction
or continental collisions, is an important topic in the Earth Sciences. Cretaceous to Cenozoic …
