Abstract The Tianshan and Junggar orogenic collage occupies the southwestern part of the
Central Asian Orogenic Belt and was assembled by collision/accretion of several continental …

Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB, also known as the Altaid Tectonic
Collage), one of the largest and long-lived accretionary orogens in the world, developed …

Shear-wave splitting provides insight into geodynamic processes such as lithospheric
deformation and upper mantle flow. This study presents shear wave splitting parameters …

Large-scale oil and gas fields have been discovered after years of petroleum exploration in
Mahu Sag, Junggar Basin, confirming the significant resource potential in its western …

Abstract The Junggar Basin, bounded by the West Junggar along late Carboniferous strike-
slip faults in the west, is a post-orogenic successor basin within the Neoproterozoic to …

Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is one of the largest and long-lived
accretionary collages worldwide, and provides an ideal opportunity to address the …

Abstract The Junggar‐Balkhash Ocean was a major branch of the southern Paleo‐Asian
Ocean. The timing of its closure is important for understanding the history of the Central …

Late Paleozoic tectonic evolution of adjacent tectonic domains of the Tarim Craton is vital for
understanding the basin-mountain coupling and dynamical mechanisms of the Paleo-Asian …

The marginal fault system, which is represented by the Hong–Che (Hongshanzui–Chepaizi),
Ke–Bai (Karamay–Baikouquan), and Wu–**a (Wuerhe–**azijie) sub-systems and …

Abstract The NW–SE Irtysh Shear Zone is a major tectonic boundary in the Central Asian
Orogenic Belt (CAOB), which supposedly records the amalgamation history between the …
