Phanerozoic Emergence of Global Continental Collision and Onset of Massive Crustal Eclogitization

The Emergence of Global Continental Collision and the Onset of Massive Crustal Eclogitization Academic Background The evolution of Earth’s crust is closely related to the development of plate tectonics, particularly the compositional changes in continental crust, which provide key evidence for understanding the evolution of plate tectonics. However...

Late Triassic Continental Eclogite in the Central Tibetan Plateau Reveals 2500-km-long Paleo-Tethys Continental Subduction

Late Triassic Continental Eclogite in the Central Tibetan Plateau Reveals Paleo-Tethys Continental Subduction Academic Background The Tibetan Plateau is one of the youngest and highest plateaus on Earth, and its formation is closely related to the closure of the Tethys Ocean and the collision of the Indian-Eurasian plates. The Paleo-Tethys Ocean wa...
