TLDR
In this paper, the authors deal with arc-type and subsequent bimodal volcanic rocks interbedded with (late) Cretaceous sedimentary formations near Gaize, central Tibet that shed new light on the Tethyan evolution along the Bangong-Nujiang suture.About:

The Lhasa Terrane: Record of a microcontinent and its histories of drift and growth
Di-Cheng Zhu,Zhidan Zhao,Yaoling Niu,Yaoling Niu,Yaoling Niu,Xuanxue Mo,Sun-Lin Chung,Zengqian Hou,Li-Quan Wang,Fu-Yuan Wu +9 more
TL;DR: Using zircon in situ U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic and bulk-rock geochemical data of Mesozoic-Early Tertiary magmatic rocks sampled along four north-south traverses across the Lhasa Terrane, Wang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the Lhaasa terrane has ancient basement rocks of Proterozoic and Archean ages (up to 2870 Ma) in its centre with younger and juvenile crust (Phanerozoic) accreted towards its both northern and southern edges.

Birth and demise of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean: A review from the Gerze area of central Tibet
TL;DR: In this article, the existence of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean (BNTO) is inferred from the presence of dismembered ophiolite bodies along the Lhasa-Qiangtang suture zone.

Mesozoic-Cenozoic evolution of the Eastern Kunlun Range, central Tibet, and implications for basin evolution during the Indo-Asian collision
Chen Wu,Chen Wu,Andrew V. Zuza,Zhiguang Zhou,An Yin,An Yin,Michael W. McRivette,Xuanhua Chen,Lin Ding,Jianzhen Geng +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated study of these two basins and the Eastern Kunlun Range was conducted to understand the timing and mechanisms of their development in order to decipher the growth and uplift history of the plateau.

Provenance analysis of Cretaceous peripheral foreland basin in central Tibet: Implications to precise timing on the initial Lhasa-Qiangtang collision
Yaofei Chen,Lin Ding,Zhenyu Li,Andrew K. Laskowski,Jin-Xiang Li,Upendra Baral,Muhammad Qasim,Muhammad Qasim,Yahui Yue +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the provenance of the Mesozoic strata along the northern margin of the Lhasa terrane near Dingqing, Tibet provide a semi-continuous record of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean closure and the subsequent lhasa-Qiangtang collision.

Timing and mechanism of Bangong-Nujiang ophiolite emplacement in the Gerze area of central Tibet
TL;DR: In this paper, the geochemistry and provenance discrimination of chromian spinels (Cr-spinels) from the precollisional subduction complex (Mugagangri Group) and syn-collisionally peripheral foreland basin succession (Wuga Formation) can help solve this fundamental problem in the BNSZ evolution.

Revised effective ionic radii and systematic studies of interatomic distances in halides and chalcogenides
TL;DR: The effective ionic radii of Shannon & Prewitt [Acta Cryst. (1969), B25, 925-945] are revised to include more unusual oxidation states and coordinations as mentioned in this paper.
Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.
