Zircon Zr isotope fractionation during crustal anatexis
Zirconium is one of high field strength elements but its isotope behavior during geochemical processes is still uncertain because of the limited database. While Zr isotopes in magmatic rocks are often used to ...

Metamorphic evolution of the East Tethys tectonic domain and its tectonic implications
The China Central Orogenic System (CCOS), extending in an east-west direction in the middle part of China, is composed of the Early Paleozoic Altyn-North Qilian-North Qaidam-East Kunlun-North Qinling-North Ton...

Tectonic evolution of convergent plate margins and its geological effects
Oceanic lithosphere is generated at divergent plate boundaries and disappears at convergent plate boundaries. Seafloor spreading and plate subduction together constitute the physical coupling and mass conserva...

The transport of water in subduction zones
The transport of water from subducting crust into the mantle is mainly dictated by the stability of hydrous minerals in subduction zones. The thermal structure of subduction zones is a key to dehydration of th...

Open AccessWater contents and hydrogen isotopes in nominally anhydrous minerals from UHP metamorphic rocks in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt
A continuous flow method, by a combination of thermal conversion elemental analyzer (TC/EA) with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (MS), was developed to determine both H isotope composition and H2O concentration o...
