Crustal subduction and continental collision is the core of plate tectonics theory.
Understanding the formation and evolution of continental collision orogens is a key to …

Partial melting at continental lithosphere depths plays an important role in generating
geochemical variations in igneous rocks. In particular, dehydration melting of ultrahigh …

Zircon is the best mineral to record the complex evolution history of ultrahigh-pressure
(UHP) metamorphic rocks as mineralogical and geochemical tracers of UHP metamorphism …

The study of continental deep-subduction has been one of the forefront and core subjects to
advance the plate tectonics theory in the twenty-first century. The Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt …

There are differences in the style of collisional orogens between the Phanerozoic and the
Precambrian, most notably the appearance of blueschists and ultrahigh pressure …

The Dabie–Sulu orogenic belt of east-central China has long been a type location for the
study of geodynamic processes associated with ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) tectonics. Much of …

Simultaneous in-situ analyses of trace elements, U–Th–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopes were carried
out on distinct domains of zircons in ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) eclogite-facies metamorphic …

Because of tectonic mixture by subduction erosion during Triassic continental collision
between the North and South China Blocks, identifying the tectonic affinity of the Jiaodong …

Abstract The Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt was formed by the Triassic continental collision
between the South China Block and the North China Block. There is a large area of …

[2] Ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terranes are defined by the presence of regionally developed
metamorphic coesite and are composed of crustal rocks that were subducted to and …
