This paper reviews the spatial-temporal distribution, geological and geochemical features,
and geophysical context of diverse types of Cenozoic ore deposits formed during India …

Porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) occur in accretionary and collisional orogens, yet it is
unclear how continental collision controls their formation. Two fundamental issues are …

The sources of fluids and metals in porphyry systems of continental-collision settings are
poorly constrained. Mercury isotopes display unique mass-independent fractionation …

Although widely used, classification schemes for granitic rocks have until now failed to
separate slab failure from arc magmatism in collisional orogens. Our previous work showed …

Formation of continental crust has shaped the surface and interior of our planet and
generated the land and mineral resources on which we rely. However, how the early …

The recent discovery of large porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) associated with Miocene (22–
12 Ma) granitoid magmas in the eastern section of the Paleocene-Eocene Gangdese …

Ore deposits are loci on Earth where energy and mass flux are greatly enhanced and
focussed, acting as magnifying lenses into metal transport, fractionation and concentration …

The Asian continent consists of many continental blocks that assembled during the
Phanerozoic, accompanied by widespread granitoids. By compiling a series of digital maps …

Arc-basaltic melts of typical hydration state (≥ 2 wt% H 2 O) are buoyant relative to all
common crustal igneous rock types and may pass adiabatically from a mantle source …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …
