DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116225
Abstract: Abstract Our understanding of crust – mantle evolution and geodynamics of the early Earth has been hampered by the scarcity of Hadean to Eoarchean rocks and by the almost ubiquitous isotopic disturbance of the oldest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gsf.2017.05.007
Abstract: Abstract Diverse models have been proposed for the role of the Tarim Craton within the Paleoproterozoic Columbia supercontinent assembly. Here we report a suite of ∼1.71 Ga Nb-enriched meta–gabbro lenses in the eastern Quanji Massif, within… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2017.06.002
Abstract: Abstract The blueschist-bearing Aksu Group and the associated rocks in the Aksu–Wushi area play a crucial role in understanding Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Tarim Craton. However, the age and tectonic setting of the Aksu… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2018.11.003
Abstract: Abstract The key to understanding the generation of mantle-derived magma and the formation of new continental crust is the recognition of the granulite-facies metamorphism, associated partial melting, and coeval magmatism that are documented in active… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2019.105473
Abstract: Abstract Neoproterozoic metavolcanic-sedimentary sequences are well preserved along the southwestern margin of Tarim Craton, NW China. In order to constrain the depositional timing of the metasedimentary sequences and better understand the crustal evolution, we present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2021.228741
Abstract: Abstract Some Asian blocks were welded into Gondwana, whereas their positions in Gondwana are controversial, especially the Tarim Craton. This is mainly because the Tarim Craton is largely occupied by the Taklamakan desert and only… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2017.1423521
Abstract: ABSTRACT Due to sparse data for deciphering the late Neoproterozoic tectonic history, there is still considerable debate on whether long-lasting superplume-related or long-duration subduction-related dynamics dominated the Tarim Craton. In this contribution, our field investigations… read more here.
