Full‐Waveform Seismic Tomography of the Upper Mantle Beneath the Arabia‐Eurasia Collision Zone
Abstract Despite being one of the most recent major orogenic events, the timing of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision is still debated. Much of the discrepancy arises due to uncertainties over the amount of continental subduction of the Arabian passive margin and the timing of a hard collision of cratonic Arabian lithosphere with Eurasia.

Abstract Seismogenic faults shape continental landscapes, drive crustal deformation and influence fluid exchange between the lithosphere and atmosphere. Yet, quantitative links between fault activity, exhumation and near‐surface environmental evolution remain poorly understood. Here, structural (meso‐ and micro‐scale) investigations are integrated with

Abstract In paleomagnetism, records of paleosecular variation (PSV) on centennial timescales are often based on magnetic measurements from lava flows. However, samples from recent flows that cooled in known magnetic fields often fail to produce the expected paleomagnetic directions, and samples from the same flow often show large within‐ and between ...

Abstract Whether the Songduo metamorphic belt represents an in situ Paleo‐Tethyan suture within the Lhasa Terrane or far‐traveled allochthonous high‐pressure slices, and how Permian mantle activity along the North Gondwana margin relates to subsequent Tethyan evolution, remain central questions in Tibetan tectonics.

Apatite as a Proxy for Reconstructing Magma Mixing Histories in Granitoids
Abstract Apatite is a common accessory mineral in granites and mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs), and its textural and compositional characteristics can record dynamic magmatic evolution processes. Apatites from the Early Cretaceous Sanguliu granite and its MMEs in the Liaodong Peninsula exhibit pronounced compositional heterogeneities. In this study,

Abstract The rarity of natural rocks that specifically record the physicochemical conditions of the subduction interface strongly hampers pertinent studies on metamorphic trajectories of high‐pressure (HP) rocks and related fluid–rock interactions. This study examines an oceanic eclogite block from the Huwan shear zone in the Hong'an orogen.
