Based on an evaluation of major and trace element data for ocean island basalts (OIB), we demonstrate that oceanic lithosphere thickness variation, which we refer to as the lid effect, exerts the primary control on OIB geochemistry on a global scale....

U-Th-Ra disequilibria and the extent of off-axis volcanism across the East Pacific Rise at 9°30′N, 10°30′N, and 11°20′N (2011)
Journal Article
Turner, S., Beier, C., Niu, Y., & Cook, C. (2011). U-Th-Ra disequilibria and the extent of off-axis volcanism across the East Pacific Rise at 9°30′N, 10°30′N, and 11°20′N. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 12(7), Article Q0AC12. https://doi.org/10.1029/2010gc003403

There is widespread interest in the distance that mid-ocean ridge magmatism extends beyond the neovolcanic zone. Off-axis magmas also provide a means to map out variations across the melting zone. We present 238U-230Th-226Ra data for 35 well-characte... Read More about U-Th-Ra disequilibria and the extent of off-axis volcanism across the East Pacific Rise at 9°30′N, 10°30′N, and 11°20′N.

Geochemistry, geochronology and petrogenesis of East Kunlun high Nb-Ta rhyolites (2011)
Journal Article
Ding, S., Huang, H., Niu, Y., .L.Zhao, Z., Yu, X., & Mo, X. (2011). Geochemistry, geochronology and petrogenesis of East Kunlun high Nb-Ta rhyolites. Yanshi xuebao 岩石学报 (Online) (网络版), 27(12), 3603-3614

The East Kunlun high Nb-Ta rhyolite is located at the eastern end of the Kunlun orogenic belt. Zircon U-Pb analysis gives a magmatic age of about 213Ma, corresponding to the subduction/collision stage of the Kunlun Orogeny. Compared to the felsic vol...

Tracing the provenance of inherited zircons from peraluminous granites in the Lhasa Terrane and its paleogeographic implications (2011)
Journal Article
Zhu, D., Zhao, Z., Niu, Y., Wang, Q., Dilek, Y., Guan, Q., …Mo, X. (2011). Tracing the provenance of inherited zircons from peraluminous granites in the Lhasa Terrane and its paleogeographic implications. Yanshi xuebao 岩石学报 (Online) (网络版), 27(7), 1917-1930

Peraluminous granites with abundant zircon inheritance are derived from partial melting of Al-rich rocks (e.g. metapelite). Thus the U-Pb age data of inherited zircons from peraluminous granites provide insights into provenance of clastic sediments i...

The Lhasa Terrane in southern Tibet has long been accepted as the last geological block accreted to Eurasia before its collision with the northward drifting Indian continent in the Cenozoic, but its lithospheric architecture, drift and growth histori...
