Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

The trace element composition of zircon reveals information about the melt that they are
derived from, as such, detrital zircon trace element compositions can be used to interrogate …

The composition of continental crust and its temporal variation, the mechanism of crust-
mantle interaction, and the degree of mantle depletion during the early Archean have been …

Magmatic oxygen fugacity (f O 2) is a fundamental property to understanding the long-term
evolution of the Earth's atmosphere and the formation of magmatic-hydrothermal mineral …

The duration and extent of sediment routing systems are intrinsically linked to crustal‐to
mantle‐scale processes. Therefore, distinct changes in the geodynamic regime may be …

Continental rifts have a significant role in supercontinent breakup and the development of
sedimentary basins. The Australian Adelaide Superbasin is one of the largest and best …

Abstract The West Kunlun Orogenic Belt (WKOB) records the early Palaeozoic subduction
and accretion events related to the Proto-Tethys Ocean along the southwestern margin of …

Oceans cover 70% of Earth's surface, setting it apart from the other terrestrial planets in the
solar system, but the mechanisms driving oceanic chemical evolution through time remain …

The glaciogenic nature of the Yudnamutana Subgroup was first recognized over a century
ago, and its global significance was recognized shortly after, with the eventual postulation of …

Abstract South China, India, and their derivative blocks preserve many similar magmatic and
sedimentary records related to the tectonic transition from Rodinia to Gondwana. They …
