The origin and pre-Cenozoic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau
Di-Cheng Zhu,Zhidan Zhao,Yaoling Niu,Yaoling Niu,Yildirim Dilek,Yildirim Dilek,Zengqian Hou,Xuanxue Mo +7 more
TL;DR: This paper reviewed and reevaluated these hypotheses in light of new data from Tibet including the distribution of major tectonic boundaries and suture zones, basement rocks and their sedimentary covers, magmatic suites, and detrital zircon constraints from Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks.

Detrital zircon geochronology of pre-Tertiary strata in the Tibetan-Himalayan orogen
George E. Gehrels,Paul Kapp,Peter G. DeCelles,Alex Pullen,R. Blakey,Amy L. Weislogel,Lin Ding,Jerome H. Guynn,Aaron J. Martin,Nadine McQuarrie,An Yin +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 13,441 new or existing U-Pb ages of zircon crystals from strata in the Lesser Himalayan, Greater Himalayan and Tethyan sequences in the Himalaya, the Lhasa, Qiangtang, and Nan Shan-Qilian Shan-Altun Shan terranes in Tibet, and platformal strata of the Tarim craton to constrain changes in provenance through time.

TL;DR: In this article, a full-plate, topological model of the Neoproterozoic that maps the evolution of the tectonic plate configurations during this time is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metamorphic chemical geodynamics in continental subduction zones
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the geochemical properties of UHP terranes is presented, focusing on the following issues in continental subduction zones: the time and duration of uHP metamorphism, the origin and action of metamorphic fluid/melt inside UHP slices, the element and isotope mobilities under HP to UHP conditions during continental collision, the origins of premetamorphic protoliths and its bearing on continental collision types, and the crustal detachment and crust mantle interaction in subduction channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tethys tectonic evolution and its bearing on the distribution of important mineral deposits in the Sanjiang region, SW China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a synthesis of tectonic evolution, magmatism and metallogeny in the Sanjiang region based on data from literatures, and provide evidence for two different events of subduction of the Proto-Tethys ocean at different locations.

Geologic Evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogen
An Yin,T. Mark Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400 km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo-Asian collision at about 70 Ma as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A brief synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the formation and break-up of the early Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia and the subsequent assembly of Gondwanaland is presented in this paper.

ARC Assembly and Continental Collision in the Neoproterozoic East African Orogen: Implications for the Consolidation of Gondwanaland
TL;DR: The most important, rapid, and enigmatic changes in our Earth's environment and biota occurred during the Neoproterozoic Era (1000-540 million years ago; Ma).

The tectonic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Lhasa terranes accreted to the Songban Ganzi Terrane along the Kunlun-Qinling Suture during the late Permian and the Qiangtang Terrane followed by a southward ophiolite obduction along the Zangbo Suture in the latest Cretaceous-earliest Palaeocene.
