Eastern China provides a precious opportunity to explore how subduction drives evolution of
the overlying continental lithosphere and to understand the fate of subducted plates. In this …

It is widely accepted that the lithosphere beneath the eastern portion of the North China
Craton (NCC) has suffered extensive thinning and destruction since the Mesozoic. The …

The genesis of giant gold provinces is an international scientific frontier, in which the source
of a huge amount of gold and the drive for mineralization are key challenges. The …

The roles of subduction of the Pacific plate and the big mantle wedge (BMW) in the evolution
of east Asian continental margin have attracted lots of attention in past years. This paper …

Partial melts in the Earth's convecting mantle influence its physical and chemical state,
particularly the plasticity of the asthenosphere and the dynamics of plate tectonics. Melt …

Origin of low δ 26 Mg basalts is a controversial subject and has been attributed to interaction
of isotopically light carbonatitic melts derived from a subducted oceanic slab with the mantle …

Both Cretaceous arc-type and intraplate rocks are widely distributed in SE China, in
association with subduction of the paleo-Pacific Plate. However, it remains unclear whether …

To explore the possibility of tracing recycled carbonate by using Mg isotopes and to evaluate
the effects of the western Pacific oceanic subduction on the upper mantle evolution of the …

Basaltic rocks from Shuangliao, northeast China include basanite, alkali olivine basalt,
transitional basalt and sub-alkaline diabase. Ar–Ar dating shows that the basanites and …

The Linglong granite is one of the most important Mesozoic plutons in the Shandong
Peninsula, eastern China, and its petrogenesis has long been controversial, particularly with …
