The nature of Precambrian metamorphic basement rocks and overall tectonic evolution of
the Qaidam block in northern Tibet remains debated despite being important to …

Archean continental crust primarily consists of TTG (tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite)
gneisses and greenstone belts. Understanding their origins and tectonic settings is crucial to …

Robust detrital minerals from large rivers that sample large-scale continental areas
represent important archives of continental crust evolution though time. Compared to the …

The Solar system planets are benchmarks for the planet formation theory. Yet two paradigms
coexist for the four terrestrial planets: the prolonged collisional growth among planetesimals …

The early geological history of the Yangtze Block has been difficult to unravel due to limited
exposure of Archean to Paleoproterozoic rocks. Through detailed geological investigations …

The late Mesoarchean era was a critical period for the Earth's geodynamic regime. However,
it remains unclear which geodynamic regime dominated this stage and how different …
