The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is a Phanerozoic accretionary orogen with a complex formation process. This study imaged the three‐dimensional electrical structure of the lithosphere using the magnetotelluric data collected covering the southern ...

NO EXCESSIVE CRUSTAL GROWTH IN THE CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT: FURTHER EVIDENCE FROM FIELD RELATIONSHIPS AND ISOTOPIC DATA [PDF]
We provide new field observations and isotopic data for key areas of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), reiterating that no excessive crustal growth occurred during its ca. 800 Ma long orogenic evolution.

COMPARISON OF DEEP CRUSTAL COMPOSITIONS BETWEEN THE QINLING-DABIE OROGEN (CHINA) AND CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING ACCRETIONARY AND COLLISIONAL OROGENIC PROCESSES [PDF]
It is generally considered that there are different continental compositions between a subductional– collisional and an accretionary orogen, however, what are the differences and how to identify them has not been well understood.

GEOCHEMISTRY, ZIRCON U-PB GEOCHRONOLOGY, ND-HF ISOTOPIC CHARACTERISTICS AND TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE SOUTH MUYA BLOCK METASEDIMENTS (NORTHEASTERN CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT) [PDF]
The Neoproterozoic to Cenozoic collage of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt is well-known to include Precambrian continental blocks and microcontinents traditionally attributed to rifting of Siberia or Gondwana prior to CAOB assembly that significantly ...

TRIASSIC TERMINAL MAGMATISM IN THE SOUTHERN CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT: IMPLICATIONS FOR OCEAN CLOSURE IN ACCRETIONARY OROGENS [PDF]
The key to defining the termination of accretion in an accretionary orogen is to recognize the initial magmatic processes that are generated at the time of ocean closure.

EARLY STAGE OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT BUILDING: EVIDENCES FROM THE SOUTHERN SIBERIAN CRATON [PDF]
The origin of the Central-Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), especially of its northern segment nearby the southern margin of the Siberian craton (SC) is directly related to development and closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO).

THE LATE PALEOZOIC EVOLUTION OF THE CENTRAL INNER MONGOLIA, CHINA: A PERSPECTIVE FROM METAMORPHIC STUDY [PDF]
The Xing’an-Inner Mongolia Orogenic Belt (XIMOB) exposed in the eastern section of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is generally thought to have resulted from closure of the Paleo-Asian ocean [Şengör et al., 1993].

Detrital zircon U–Pb and Hf isotopic dataset for the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, northern China
The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is one of the biggest accretionary orogens in the world. With the development of laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS), large data of detrital zircon U–Pb and Hf isotopes have been ...
