This paper reviews the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen from the Carpathians to Indochina. Focus is placed on the formation of porphyry Cu±Mo±Au …
Variations in continental volcanic arc emissions have the potential to control atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and climate change on multimillion-year time scales. Here we …
The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

The temporal and geochemical evolution of arc magmatism that culminated in porphyry Cu±Mo±Au deposit formation has been studied in three separate Neo-Tethyan arc systems …
This study reports zircon LA-ICPMS U–Pb ages of 50 igneous rock samples from the Urumieh–Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA) and Sanandaj–Sirjan structural zone (SSZ) in Iran …
Abstract The Sanandaj‐Sirjan zone of Iran is a northwest trending orogenic belt immediately north of the Zagros suture, which represents the former position of the Neotethys Ocean. The …
Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …
Abstract The Arabia-Eurasia collision has been linked to global cooling, the slowing of Africa, Mediterranean extension, the rifting of the Red Sea, an increase in exhumation and …
