Rejuvenation of ancient micro-continents during accretionary orogenesis: Insights from the Yili Block and adjacent regions of the SW Central Asian Orogenic Belt
Abstract In the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), whether substantial juvenile additions
associated with accretionary orogenesis are preserved is still a pending issue. The Yili Block …

Spatial and temporal radiogenic isotopic trends of magmatism in Cordilleran orogens
An intrinsic feature of Cordillera-style orogenic systems is a spatial trend in the radiogenic
isotopic composition of subduction-related magmatism. Magmatism is most isotopically …
