Development of thermal state and plate tectonics in the North China Craton during Neoarchean–Paleoproterozoic

Communications Earth & Environment
Although the early tectonic regime of the Earth remains debated, it is generally accepted that the geodynamic system underwent a notable transition during the Neoarchean–Paleoproterozoic.

Crustal structure beneath the central and western North China from receiver function analysis

Earthquake Science, 2022
The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest cratons on earth. Several important tectonic transformations of Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic regime led to the destruction of the North China craton. The knowledge of crustal structure can provide important

Transition from orogenic plateau to thinning reveals mesozoic North China craton dynamics

Communications Earth & Environment
The North China Craton underwent extensive lithospheric thinning and crustal reworking during the Mesozoic, challenging classic views of craton stability.

Jurassic contractional deformation in the central–western North China Craton in response to multi-plate convergence in the East Asia

Geosystems and Geoenvironment
The Jurassic multi-plate convergence in East Asia led to the intra-continental deformation in the North China Craton (NCC). However, much controversy is highlighted in the intra-continental deformation style and timing, and unanimous kinematics.

Mesoproterozoic post-orogenic magmatism on the southwestern North China Craton: onset of Columbia breakup

Frontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionThe North China Craton experienced multiple episodes of Mesoproterozoic anorogenic magmatism, which provides critical insights into the breakup process of the Columbia supercontinent.

Coeval granitic magmatism in the southern segment of the Liupanshan at the SW margin of the NCC: Implications for Paleoproterozoic extension

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2017
The ages of the Shizuizi, Baojiashan and Duanjiaxia granites are poorly constrained. They are exposed along the southern segment of the Liupanshan fault system at the southwestern margin of the North China Craton. They form a NW-trending belt of coeval A-
