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.

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.
