Changes in oceanic O-Sr-C isotopic compositions, global cooling and Asian continental aridification beginning in the Middle-Late Eocene(47-34 Ma) are considered to have been caused by the uplift of the Tibetan plateau...
Kinematic models compute the temperature distribution by prescribing a constant convergent velocity for the subducting slab,resulting in an artificial velocity discontinuity,which may accelerate the heating of subduct...
Cenozoic volcanic rocks, forming a series of volcanic rocks platform or highland on different sub\|volcanic rocks belt, had distributed widely in northern Qinghai—Tibet plateau, and characterized by potassinm\|rich l...
he 2500km long Indus\|Tsangpo Suture has been recognized as one of the best examples of continent to continent collisional Suture Zone. It has come into existence as a result of subduction followed by continental coll...
A discontinuous line of ophiolitic bodies occurs along the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YTSZ), which stretches across southern Tibet and beyond. This zone marks the locus of collision between Eurasia and India in the E...
Previous studies on ophiolite and granite revealed that a paleo\|ocean which was referred to as “Proto\|Tethys" developed in north part of western Kunlun in Pt 3~Pz 1.The geotectonic unit in Kuda, western Kunlun is ...
