Hot and dry deep crustal xenoliths from tibet

Although these rocks show that the central Tibetan crust is hot enough to cause even dehydration melting of mica, the absence of hydrous minerals, and the match of the calculated P-wave speeds and Poisson's ratios with seismological observations, argue against the presence of widespread crustal melting.

Geochronological, geochemical, and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic characteristics of granitoids in eastern Tibet and implications for tectonic correlation with southeastern Asia

Understanding the configuration of continental blocks within the Tibetan orogen prior to Indo-Asian collision is vital to determining their accretionary history. However, complex tectonic…

Characteristics of Deep Structures under the Nyainqentanglha Mountains

Using the deep reflection seismic data and MT data of the INDEPTH project, the authors studied in detail the crustal structure. Through the seismic phase analysis of the deep reflection seismic data…

Lithospheric Thermotectonic Simulation on the Indian-Eurasian Subduction and Collision

In this paper, the authors dealt tentatively with the lithospheric thermotectonic evolution via a numerical analysis of the middle part of Lhasa block from 100 Ma to 40 Ma, and used non linear…

SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age and Nd isotopic study on the Nyainqêntanglha Group in Tibet

The Nyainqentanglha Group is traditionally viewed as the oldest metamorphic basement in the Lhasa block, but its formation age and tectonic setting remain debate. Zircons extracted from the…
