Subduction zones not only return oceanic lithosphere into the mantle, but are also sites
where chemical components are transferred from the downgoing plate back to the surface in …

Both Cretaceous arc-type and intraplate rocks are widely distributed in SE China, in
association with subduction of the paleo-Pacific Plate. However, it remains unclear whether …

The strong resilience of the mineral zircon and its ability to host a wealth of isotopic
information make it the best deep-time archive of Earth's continental crust. Zircon is found in …

In addition to fluids, the concept of sediment‐derived melts infiltrating the fore‐arc mantle
during subduction initiation has been proposed based on studies of modern subduction …

To better understand the evolutionary history of the African continental crust, a combined U–
Pb, Lu–Hf and O isotopic study has been carried out by in situ analyses of approximately …

The Andean orogenic cycle and its subduction-related magmatism along the southwestern
margin of South America began during the early Jurassic after an accretionary history …

A diverse suite of intermediate to felsic rocks from the Baimaxueshan pluton within the
Sanjiang Orogen, SW China, documents the tectonomagmatic history of closure of the …

The robust nature of the mineral zircon, combined with our analytical ability to readily
acquire in-situ uranium-lead (U-Pb), lutetium-hafnium (Lu-Hf) and oxygen (O) isotopic data …

A combined study of whole-rock major-trace elements and Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotopes as well as
zircon U–Pb ages and Hf–O isotopes was carried out for Mesozoic andesitic–basaltic …

The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of the
physical and chemical processes that occur at active convergent plate margins. These …
