DOI: 10.1007/s00531-018-1625-7
Abstract: The Early Mesozoic granitoids in the east-central Tibet are the key to understand the tectonic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, three stages of Early Mesozoic granitic magmatism were indicated by LA-ICP-MS zircon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2020.08.016
Abstract: Abstract Large-scale geodynamic processes not only result in magmatism, but also generate corresponding tectonic and sedimentary evidence. Therefore, magmatic, sedimentary, and tectonic evidences can be used to investigate lithospheric geodynamics. This study reports Late Cretaceous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2021.106076
Abstract: Abstract The properties of accreted terranes in a large collisional orogen determine, in large part, the nature and subsequent development of the orogen. In this paper we present a detailed study of Late Mesozoic sodic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2020.228499
Abstract: Abstract The north-south convergence between the Indian and Eurasian continents since Cenozoic has produced the Tibetan plateau, and east-west extension structures have also developed since late Cenozoic. Whether these extensional structures are limited to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl086650
Abstract: The timing of Bangong‐Nujiang suture ophiolite obduction between the Lhasa and Qiangtang terranes in central Tibet is important for understanding the closure history of the Meso‐Tethys but remains poorly constrained. We investigated subaerial to shallow… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2012647117
Abstract: Significance The ancient topography of the Tibetan Plateau and its role in biotic evolution are still poorly understood, mostly due to a lack of fossil evidence. Our discovery of ∼47-Mya plant fossils from a present… read more here.

Upper‐Crustal Anisotropy of the Conjugate Strike‐Slip Fault Zone in Central Tibet Analyzed Using Local Earthquakes and Shear‐Wave Splitting

DOI: 10.1785/0120180333
Abstract: Remarkable V‐shaped conjugate strike‐slip faults extend along the Bangong–Nujiang suture in central Tibet. Motions of these faults are considered to accommodate ongoing east–west extension and north–south contraction. Fabrics within the fault zone that are anisotropic… read more here.
