The Tian Shan of Central Asia is located in the southwestern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB, also known as the Central Asian Orogenic System or CAOS) …
Generation of continental crust in collision zones reflect the interplay between oceanic subduction and continental collision. The Gangdese continental crust in southern Tibet …
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 …

The Cretaceous plutonic suites in the Fujian coastal area include abundant I-type and A- type granitoids and lesser gabbroids. They are important components of the Late …
A granite–syenite–gabbro association from inland South China has been studied for zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions as well as whole-rock elemental and Sr–Nd …
Abstract Within the Appalachian–Variscan orogen of North America and southern Europe lie a collection of terranes that were distributed along the northern margin of West Gondwana in …
