The microcontinental blocks in the CAOB include the combined NE China blocks (comprising the Erguna, Xing'an, Songliao and Jimusi-Khanka blocks) in the eastern …
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 …
We argue that the production of mantle-derived or juvenile continental crust during the accretionary history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) has been grossly …
Abstract The Qilian Shan, located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, has experienced multiple episodes of tectonic deformation, including Neoproterozoic continental …
As one of the largest Phanerozoic orogens in the world, the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is a natural laboratory for studies of continental dynamics and metallogenesis. This …
Ocean plate stratigraphy (OPS) is a term used to describe the sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks deposited on oceanic crust substratum from the time it forms at a spreading …
We provide new field observations and isotopic data for key areas of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), reiterating our previous assessment that no excessive crustal growth …
New or “juvenile” crust forms and grows mainly through mafic to andesitic magmatism at Pacific-type or accretionary type convergent margins as well as via tectonic accretion of …
A series of porphyry-type Cu-(Mo)-(Au) deposits including some giant world-class deposits such as Kounrad, Aktogai, Kal'makyr, Oyu Tolgoi and Chalukou occur in the Central Asian …
