Tectonic Evolution and Crustal Growth of the East Kunlun Orogen, NW China: Insights From the Late Permian–Triassic Granitoids

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The East Kunlun Orogen (EKO) on the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau experienced complex Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic tectono‐magmatic activities associated with the subduction and closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean. Controversies remain regarding the timing and processes of the transition from subduction to collision and post‐collision,

Paleogene magmatism and gold metallogeny of the Jinping terrane in the Ailaoshan ore belt, Sanjiang Tethyan Orogen (SW China): Geology, deposit type and tectonic setting

open access: yesOre Geology Reviews, 2017
Abstract The Jinping terrane is situated in the southern segment of the Ailaoshan ore belt, Sanjiang Tethyan Orogen (SW China). The Paleogene intrusions in Jinping consist of syenite porphyry, fine-grained syenite and biotite granite stocks/dikes, and contain relatively low TiO 2 (0.21–0.38 wt%), P 2 O 5 (0.01–0.35 wt%), and high Na 2 O (2.00–4.62 ...

Longevity and Reactivation of Intracontinental Walled Basins: Thermochronologic Evidence From Western Mongolia

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
Permian–Jurassic tectonism produced cooling ages preserved in Mesozoic strata of the Dzereg and Dariv basins. Thermal modeling indicates mid‐Cretaceous and late Cenozoic basin inversion and cooling synchronous with bounding‐range exhumation, supporting a long‐lived source‐to‐sink relationship and persistent inherited relief since the Jurassic ...

Geochemical evidence of dykes in the Salafchegan-Tafresh region as part of Cenozoic magmatism in the central segment of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc [PDF]

open access: yesپترولوژی
IntroductionIran constitutes a critical segment of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, formed through the collision of the Arabian, Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates (Rolland et al., 2002; Stampfli and Hochard, 2009; von Raumer et al., 2003; Yin and ...

Global Cooling Driving the Increase in Erosion Rates Across the Himalaya Since the Quaternary

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Late Cenozoic global cooling is well documented, yet its impact on erosion rates in active mountain belts, particularly after the onset of Quaternary glaciation, remain contentious. This ambiguity partially stems from the potential methodological biases in erosion rate quantification, particularly in the Himalaya, where recent studies report ...

Magma Mixing Processes in a Continental Collision Zone: Insights From Mineralogical and Geochemical Constraints

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Eocene magmatism in southern Tibet records deep geodynamic processes associated with the India‐Asia collision. The Quxu batholith, a representative segment of the Gangdese magmatic belt, hosts widespread mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) indicating magma mixing.

Geochemistry and tectonomagmatic setting of protolite rocks of meta-volcanics in the Halab metamorphic complex (SW Dandy, Zanjan Province)

open access: yesJournal of Economic Geology, 2019
Introduction Three fundamental goals will be followed in the study of metamorphic terrains including: 1- study of fabric in metamorphic rocks in order to recognize the relationship between metamorphism and deformation, 2- the identification of ...

Cretaceous Spatiotemporal Variations in Tectonic Shortening Directions in the Longmen Shan Tectonic Belt and Geodynamic Implications: Constraints From AMS Fabrics and Crustal Rotation in the Western Sichuan Basin

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract As a major tectonic boundary along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, the Longmen Shan tectonic belt (LMSTB) underwent pronounced crustal shortening and thickening during the Cretaceous. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of Cretaceous shortening and the boundary's response to far‐field tectonic forcing remain incompletely resolved.

High‐Resolution Anisian Marine Perturbation by Volcanism in the Eastern Paleo‐Tethys

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Following the end‐Permian mass extinction, the Middle Triassic Anisian Stage was still characterized by environmental perturbations that hindered biological flourishing, yet it remains uncertain whether these persistent Tethyan disturbances were coupled with the closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean.

Detrital Zircon U-Pb Age Data and Geochemistry of Clastic Rocks in the Xiahe–Hezuo Area: Implications for the Late Paleozoic–Mesozoic Tectonic Evolution of the West Qinling Orogen

open access: yesGeosciences
The West Qinling Orogenic Belt (WQOB) contains a sedimentary succession that is approximately 15 km thick, spanning from the Carboniferous to the Jurassic period.
