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 …

The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (c. 1000–250 Ma) formed by accretion of island arcs,
ophiolites, oceanic islands, seamounts, accretionary wedges, oceanic plateaux and …

Subduction-related accretion in the Junggar–Balkash and South Tianshan Oceans (Paleo-
Asian Ocean), mainly in the Paleozoic, gave rise to the present 2400km-long Tianshan …

The Altaids is one of the largest accretionary collages in the world, and the tectonic styles of
the accretionary processes have been interpreted in several ways, including as an …

The Altaids is one of the largest accretionary orogenic collages in the world with the highest
rate of Phanerozoic continental growth and significant metallogenic importance. It is widely …

Middle-Cambrian to Permian subduction-related records are widely distributed in Northern
**njiang which can be grouped into the Chinese Altay–East Junggar–Eastern Tien Shan …

The Beishan orogenic collage is located in the southernmost part of the Altaids, and
connects the Southern Tien Shan suture to the west with the Solonker suture to the east. The …

Zircon SIMS U-Pb dating of the Poshi, Hongshishan, Bijiashan, and Huangshan Ni-Cu-
bearing and **angshan Ni-Cu-Ti-Fe-bearing mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the Eastern …

Geochemical and geochronological evidence was obtained from granitoids of the South
Tianshan orogen and adjacent regions, which consist of three individual tectonic domains …

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 …
