Ridge subduction and slab windows in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Tectonic implications for the evolution of an accretionary orogen

Gondwana Research, 2018
Abstract Cenozoic ridge subduction and the resultant slab windows have been well documented worldwide, especially along the western margins of North and South America. The principal characteristics of ridge subduction, which can be used to recognize the process in ancient orogens, include intrusion of ridge-generated magmas into a forearc in a near ...

Paleozoic paleogeography of the south western part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

2015
The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is one of the world's largest accretionary orogens, which was active during most of the Paleozoic. In recent years it has again moved into focus of the geological community debating how the acrreted lithospheric elements were geographical arranged and interacting prior and/or during the final amalgamation of ...

Petrogenesis of Late Carboniferous granitoids in Dunhuang region, southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Insights into the crustal differentiation of orogenic belt

The anataxis of accretionary complexes is critical for crustal differentiation in orogenic belts. To clarify how anataxis in accretionary complexes drives crustal differentiation, this study examines Late Carboniferous granitoids from the Dunhuang orogenic belt using whole-rock geochemistry, zircon U-Pb geochronology, and zircon Lu-Hf isotopes.

Discovery of neoproterozoic orthogneisses in Beishan Orogen: new constraints on the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

2015
Located in the middle segment of the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the Beishan belt in northwestern China plays a pivotal role in understanding the tectonic evolution of the CAOB. Despite numerous studies primarily emphasizing on Phanerozoic events, the Precambrian evolution of the Beishan belt has been poorly constrained ...
