The architecture and mechanics of an orogen can be understood in terms of a system of
collages that are characterized by a complex assemblage of multiple components, but the …

The Central Asian Orogenic Belt records the accretion and convergence of three collage
systems that were finally rotated into two major oroclines. The Mongolia collage system was …

The architecture of accretionary orogens is a key to understand continental growth. Here we
present an overview of the orogenic components and their amalgamation in the western …

The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …

As the chronicle of plate motions through time, paleogeography is fundamental to our
understanding of plate tectonics and its role in shaping the geology of the present-day. To …

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, one of the largest and long-lived accretionary orogens in the world, developed
from ca. 600Ma to 250Ma by the multiple accretions of terranes of different origin, chiefly …
