Abstract The North Qaidam ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt in the northern
Tibetan Plateau is considered as a typical Alpine-type UHP metamorphic belt due to the …

Significant volume of wet melting requires an influx of H2O-rich volatile phase. In hydrate-
breakdown melting, initial melt accumulation is diffusion-controlled and melt accumulates …

At low temperatures (< 750 C at moderate to high crustal pressures), the production of
sufficient melt to reach the melt connectivity transition (∼ 7 vol%), enabling melt drainage …

Abstract Most of the Himalayan Cenozoic leucogranites are products of partial melting of
metapelite sources. In the Malashan-Gyirong area (southern Tibet), the geochemical …

Within the Himalayan collisional belt, granotoids occur along two sub-parallel belts, the
Northern Himalayan Gneiss Domes (NHGD) and the High Himalayan Crystalline Series …

Ages retrieved from accessory minerals in high-grade metamorphic rocks place important
constraints on the timing of events and the rates of tectonometamorphic processes operating …

We carried out a geochemical evaluation and modeled the mechanism responsible for
varied Hf isotopic ratios in magmatic zircons of a single granitic rock specimen. Five …

Identifying the timing of formation and geochemical nature of the Cenozoic granites along
the Himalayan orogen is essential to test or formulate models that link crustal anatexis with …

Advances in field observations and experimental petrology on anatectic products have
motivated us to investigate the geochemical consequences of accessory mineral dissolution …

The formation and differentiation of the continental crust occurs at convergent plate margins
in accretionary and collisional orogenic belts where sufficient heat is generated to achieve …
