TL;DR: Aseismic ridge subduction is a common geodynamic process in modern oceanic plate tectonics and plays an important role in the generation of arc magmatism, material recycling, the growth and evolution of continental crust, deformation and modification of the overlying plates, and metallogenesis at convergent plate boundaries.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provided an example of Cenozoic cratonic keel delamination in a collisional orogen and highlighted the key roles of compositional and thermal densification in delamination during subduction and collision.

TL;DR: Li-rich pegmatites from the Chakabeishan area of the Zongwulong orogenic belt have been reported in this paper , where the ages of the pegmatite are similar to those of Li-rich rare-element mines in the Markam-Yajiang-Karakoram (MYK) belt.

TL;DR: In this article , four types of Late Triassic pegmatites are recognized in the Chakabeishan area of Markam-Yajiang-Karakoram (MYK) giant Li ore belt in northern Tibet.

TL;DR: The timing and mechanism of crustal thickening and initial surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau remain disputed as discussed by the authors , and the authors of this paper report zircon U-Pb geochronological and O isotopic and whole-rock geochemical and Sr-Nd isotopic data for Eocene (41-37 Ma) granite porphyries and quartz monzonites from the Qoima Co area of the northern Qiangtang Block, central Tibet.
