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...

Evidence of Alkali-Carbonate Melts in the Mantle Academic Background Carbonate melts play a crucial role in Earth’s deep carbon cycle, mantle melting, redox reactions, and the transport of highly incompatible elements. Although experimental studies, metasomatic transformations, and melt/fluid inclusions in mantle xenoliths, kimberlites, and diamond...

First Dating of an Early Chibanian (Middle Pleistocene) Glacial Overdeepening in the Alpine Foreland Using the 4He/U-Th Method Academic Background Glacial overdeepenings are deep valleys formed by glacial erosion, typically filled with glacial sediments. These sediments record the history of glacial activity and are crucial for understanding the ex...

Study on the Link Between Crustal “Bobbing” and Lithospheric Foundering in the Central Andean Plateau Academic Background The Andean Plateau is one of the most active orogenic belts on Earth, and its formation and evolution have long been a focus of geologists. Lithospheric foundering is an important mechanism for crustal deformation, basin subside...

Report on the Paper: “Partial Domain Adaptation for Building Borehole Lithology Model Under Weaker Geological Prior” Background and Research Problem Lithology identification plays a critical role in stratigraphic characterization and reservoir exploration. However, existing AI and machine learning-based lithology identification methods face substan...

New Interpretation of the Moon’s Age: A Tidal Heating-Driven Remelting Event Academic Background The formation of the Moon has been a significant issue in planetary science. Currently, the most widely accepted theory for the Moon’s formation is the “Giant Impact Hypothesis,” which posits that during the late stages of Earth’s formation, a Mars-size...

Exploration of the History of Water on Mars: From Seasonal Cycles to Long-Term Evolution Academic Background As one of the planets in the solar system closest to Earth, Mars has long been a focus of scientific interest. The presence and evolution of water on Mars are directly related to whether the planet once had conditions suitable for life. Unde...
