Tectonic types and evolution of Ordovician proto-type basins in the Tarim region
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2007 The Ordovician system is an important target for exploration in the Tarim Basin. Restoration of the Ordovician tectono-depositional environment is a key basis for the study of the structural development history in Tarim block and the prediction of the favorable Ordovician reservoir belts (zones).

Tectono-magmatic evolution of the Philippine Sea Plate: A review
Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 The West Pacific Margin incorporates 75% of global marginal basins/back-arc basins. These basins and their adjacent trenches and island arcs constitute a huge trench-arc-basin system created by the interactions among three tectonic plates (the Pacific ...

Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]
, 2017 Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago in the Neogene. Here, spanning the last 60 million years of Earth

Hydrothermal-sedimentary dolomite — a case from the Middle Permian in eastern Junggar Basin, China
Journal of Palaeogeography, 2020 The Middle Permian Lucaogou Formation in the Jimusar Sag, eastern Junggar Basin, NW China, was deposited in a salt lake within an intracontinental rift basin with intense hydrothermal activity. Hydrothermal-sedimentary dolomite in the form of three types

Metamorphic history and geodynamic significance of the Early Cretaceous Sabzevar granulites (Sabzevar structural zone, NE Iran) [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2011 The Iranian ophiolites are part of the vast orogenic suture zones that mark the Alpine-Himalayan convergence zone. Few petrological and geochronological data are available from these ophiolitic domains, hampering a full assessment of the timing and ...
