The Wilson Cycle of the North Altyn Ocean: A Record of Subduction Initiation, Slab Rollback, and Final Closure

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The North Altyn ophiolitic belt was formed by the subduction–closure of the Altyn segment of the Proto–Tethys Ocean and recorded the accretion of Tarim to northern Gondwana, but the timing of initial subduction and detailed tectonic transition processes remain poorly constrained. This study reports the oldest Phanerozoic magmatic record of 537

Role of Post‐Collisional Magmatism in Continental Growth and Reworking Since the Late Archean

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms responsible for the formation and compositional evolution of continental crust remain central questions in Earth science. Post‐collisional magmatism is widely preserved in the continental record; however, its contribution to crustal growth may be underestimated because enriched isotopic signatures obscure juvenile mantle input ...

A Rare Glimpse of Paleoproterozoic Sub‐Arc Mantle: The Ussuit Peridotite, West Greenland

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Mantle residues beneath Archean cratonic nuclei have been extensively studied, whereas less attention has been given to the mantle lithosphere beneath Proterozoic mobile belts that link these nuclei.

Sources and possible causes of Paleoproterozoic magmatism in the southern part of the Karelian Craton (Baltic Shield)

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2018
There is an opinion that Paleoproterozoic magmatism in the Karelian craton of the Baltic Shield is linked solely with the influence of mantle plumes.

ARCHEAN AND PALEOPROTEROZOIC HISTORY OF ROCK METAMORPHISM IN THE URALS CRUSTAL SEGMENT

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2015
In the Urals, Archean and Paleoproterozoic formations were found in several polymetamorphic complexes which crop out as relatively small tectonic blocks (within the first thousands sq. km in area).

Cold deep subduction recorded by remnants of a Paleoproterozoic carbonated slab

Nature Communications, 2018
The onset of modern-style plate tectonics remains under debate. Here, Xu et al. report a cold thermal-gradient recorded in an eclogite xenolith in Paleoproterozoic carbonatite from orogen, and propose that modern-style subduction has operated since at ...

High pCO2-induced exopolysaccharide-rich ballasted aggregates of planktonic cyanobacteria could explain Paleoproterozoic carbon burial

Nature Communications, 2018
A Paleoproterozoic carbon isotope anomaly is likely linked to burial of oceanic cyanobacteria, but it is not clear how burial occurred. Here, the authors find that, under Paleoproterozoic pCO2 conditions, planktonic cyanobacteria increase ...

Reappraisal of the Sumé Complex: geochemistry and geochronology of metaigneous rocks and implications for Paleoproteorozoic subduction-accretion events in the Borborema Province, NE Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2019
The Alto Moxotó Terrane represents the largest exposure of Paleoproterozoic rocks in the central Borborema Province. Several medium- to high-grade metamorphic units are described in the terrane, however geochronological data are still scarce, and the ...

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.
