Published in 2020 at "International Journal of Earth Sciences"

DOI: 10.1007/s00531-020-01870-4

Abstract: The Paleoproterozoic Jiao-Liao-Ji Orogenic Belt provides key evidence of evolution from an early rift-basin (or back-arc basin) to final collision of the Longgang block (Eo-Meso Archean granitic gneiss) and the Nangrim block in the Liaodong… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Tectonics"

DOI: 10.1029/2018tc005006

Abstract: Like many other mountain belts, the metamorphic core or hinterland of the Brooks Range fold and thrust belt in Arctic Alaska is characterized by multiply deformed and polymetamorphosed rocks whose ... read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Tectonics"

DOI: 10.1029/2020tc006178

Abstract: Extensional systems evolve through different stages due to changes in the rheological state of the lithosphere. It is crucial to distinguish ductile structures formed before and during rifting, as both cases have important but contrasting… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Tectonics"

DOI: 10.1029/2024tc008512

Abstract: Metamorphic core complexes are ubiquitous in collapsed orogens globally and play a primary role in crustal exhumation. We investigate the metamorphic history of the Ruby Mountains‐East Humboldt Range metamorphic core complex, Nevada, using petrochronology to… read more here.
