DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.03.018
Abstract: The characterization of the geochemical reservoirs of the Earth's continental crust, including the determination of representative upper and lower crustal compositions, underpins our understanding of crustal evolution. The classic I- and S-type granite classification has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2017.02.014
Abstract: Abstract The West Kunlun Orogenic Belt is a result of the closure of Proto– and Paleo–Tethys Ocean and subsequent continental collision. In order to better understand the tectonic evolution of this orogenic belt, whole-rock geochemistry… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2016.09.018
Abstract: Earth's continental crust is dominantly made of buoyant, felsic igneous material (granitoids), that were ultimately extracted from the mantle as a result of Earth's differentiation. Since felsic melts are not in chemical equilibrium with the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2018.11.001
Abstract: Abstract Though many models of continental crustal growth rely on the assumption that juvenile crust is derived from depleted mantle of fairly uniform composition, mafic magmas derived from the mantle – potential candidates for newly… read more here.
