Long-standing problems in the geological evolution of the Tibetan–Himalayan orogen
include where the India–Asia convergence was accommodated and how the plateau grew …

The nature, extension, and evolution of the Meso-Tethys still remain unclear to researchers,
and this has thereby hindered in-depth study of the Tethys tectonic domain. In this paper, we …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

Zircon rare earth element (REE) oxy-barometers have been widely used to calculate magma
oxygen fugacity. However, sometimes confusing results are obtained, such as extremely …

Our new stratigraphic, sedimentological, and micropaleontological analysis, integrated with
basalt geochemistry, sandstone petrography, and detrital-zircon U-Pb and Hf isotope data …

Phanerozoic growth of continental crust has widely been considered as an important
geological phenomenon and mainly occurs in an arc setting. However, the crustal growth …

New zircon U–Pb data, along with the data reported in the literature, reveal five phases of
magmatic activity in the Tengchong Terrane since the Early Paleozoic with spatial and …

In addition to fluids, the concept of sediment‐derived melts infiltrating the fore‐arc mantle
during subduction initiation has been proposed based on studies of modern subduction …

Abstract The 176 Lu–176 Hf radioactive decay system has been widely used to study
planetary crust–mantle differentiation. Of considerable utility in this regard is zircon, a …

Elucidating geodynamic processes at depth relies on a correct interpretation of petrological
and geochemical features in magmatic records. In southern Tibet, both potassic volcanic …
