Abstract: High-resolution P wave tomography shows that the subducting Pacific slab is stagnant in the mantle transition zone and forms a big mantle wedge beneath eastern China. The Mg isotopic investigation of large numbers of mantle-derived… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11430-019-9371-0
Abstract: There are usually abrupt changes in lithospheric thickness at the boundaries between ancient cratons and adjacent young mobile belts. Lateral variations in temperature and density between the two can trigger small-scale mantle convection (edge-driven convection,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2018.10.020
Abstract: Abstract Intense magmatism and voluminous sedimentation occurred in the Jiaodong Peninsula during Mesozoic in response to the lithospheric thinning in eastern North China Craton (NCC). Here we report the results from an integrated geochemical and… read more here.

Connection Between a Subcontinental Plume and the Mid‐Lithospheric Discontinuity Leads to Fast and Intense Craton Lithospheric Thinning

DOI: 10.1029/2021tc006711
Abstract: Removal and thinning of cratonic lithosphere is believed to have occurred under different tectonic settings, for example, near subduction zones and above mantle plumes. Subduction‐induced cratonic modification has been widely discussed; however, the mechanisms and… read more here.
