The Beginning of a Wilson Cycle in an Accretionary Orogen: The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean Opened Assisted by a Devonian Mantle Plume

Geophysical Research Letters
The opening of oceans within accretionary orogens is important for understanding the Wilson cycle. The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean (MOO) began opening within the early Paleozoic accretionary collage of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), representing a ...

A REVIEW OF EARLY PERMIAN (300–270 MA) MAGMATISM IN EASTERN KAZAKHSTAN AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PLATE TECTONICS AND PLUME INTERPLAY

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2019
The history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) was marked by several major events of magmatism which produced large volumes of volcanic and intrusive (mafic-ultramafic and granitic) rocks within a relatively short time span (30–40 Ma) over a vast ...

Late Paleozoic Diachronous Subduction Initiation of the SE Paleo‐Asian Ocean: Implications for Tectonic Transition From Passive to Active Continental Margin Along Northern North China Craton

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Subduction initiation is fundamental to our understanding of plate tectonics. However, the mechanisms and processes of subduction initiation, especially at passive continental margins, are poorly understood due to limited geological records.

Ten Questions of East Asian Tectonics

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 297-319, April 2025.
Abstract East Asian continental tectonics challenges the plate tectonics paradigm with its diffuse intraplate deformation, magmatism, and earthquakes. Despite extensive studies, fundamental questions persist. This review examines ten critical questions of East Asian tectonics, including the thickness of the continental lithosphere, the origin of the ...

Folded Basinal Compartments of the Southern Mongolian Borderland: A Structural Archive of the Final Consolidation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

Geosciences, 2017
The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) records multiple Phanerozoic tectonic events involving consolidation of disparate terranes and cratonic blocks and subsequent reactivation of Eurasia’s continental interior.

Discovery of a >1,000km Cambrian eclogite-bearing high-pressure metamorphic belt in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Implications for the final closure of the Pan-Rodinian Ocean

, 2022
The immense Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) witnessed the transition from the Pan‐Rodinian Mirovoi Ocean to the Paleo-Asian Ocean, but the final closure of the Mirovoi Ocean remains unexplored so far.
