Earth's continental crust has grown and been recycled throughout geologic history along
convergent plate margins. The main locus of continental crustal growth is in intra-oceanic …

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 …

Determining whether plate tectonics or some other mode of planetary dynamics operated in
the early Archean is one of the most contentious and debated areas of Earth Sciences today …

Most known porphyry Cu deposits formed in the Phanerozoic and are exclusively associated
with moderately oxidized, sulfur-rich, hydrous arc-related magmas derived from partial …

Ophiolitic podiform chromitites from Phanerozoic orogens have been shown to preserve a
wealth of textures and inclusions that, in some way, trace earlier episodes of subduction and …

Magma degassing fundamentally controls the Earth's volatile cycles. The large amount of
gas expelled into the atmosphere during volcanic eruptions (ie, volcanic outgassing) is the …

Hydrous fluids released from subducting oceanic lithosphere fuel arc magmatism and
associated hydrothermal mineralization, including formation of porphyry copper deposits …

The Tethyan orogen is host to numerous porphyry Cu±Mo±Au deposits, but the majority
formed during subduction of the Neo-Tethyan ocean basin in the late Mesozoic–Cenozoic; …

Continental crust in average exhibits a similar composition in both major and trace elements
to andesites along active continental margins. For this reason, andesitic magmatism above …

Monogenetic volcanic fields are commonly related to rifts and/or intraplate tectonic settings.
However, they are also less commonly recognised in subduction zones, including both front …
