Summary: Ocean-ridge subduction and induced slab windows play a crucial role in the formation of arc magmatism and growth of crust. A study in Northwestern China found low Sr/Y rhyodacites and associated ophiolites, which were formed through partial melting of normal mid-ocean-ridge basalts and exhibited characteristics of blow-torch effect during ocean-ridge subduction. Harzburgites in the area were similar to abyssal peridotites and formed through the obduction of hot asthenospheric mantle. These findings provide important insights into the petrogenesis of low Sr/Y rhyodacites and shed light on the processes occurring during ridge subduction.

Summary: Our study shows that the lavas from the Pako guyot within the Magellan seamount trail exhibit a wide compositional spectrum. For the first time, both HIMU and EM1-like mantle plume components are found in a single seamount. The Magellan seamounts are likely derived from partial melting of a heterogeneous mantle plume containing multiple components.

Summary: The Early Paleozoic eclogite belt in the East Kunlun Orogen provides valuable insights into the subduction history of the Proto-Tethys Ocean. By studying the P-T conditions and time-scales of the eclogites, we can better understand the process of subduction and collision in this tectonic system.

Summary: The Middle Paleozoic granitoids in the East Kunlun Orogen of the northern Tibetan Plateau provide important information about the tectonic evolution of the Proto-Tethys Ocean. Petrological, geochemical, geochronological, and isotopic data suggest that the granites in the East Kunlun Orogen are of I-type, S-type, and A-type, respectively. The formation of these granites is believed to be related to partial melting of lower crust and graywackes under different geological conditions. The collision between North Kunlun and South Kunlun Terrane during the Middle Silurian led to the syn-collisional stage, followed by a post-collisional collapse in the Late Silurian to Early-Middle Devonian.

Summary: The study of the Kudi back-arc ophiolite reveals a progressive evolution in back-arc basins, with the formation of enriched pillow lavas due to the addition of slab-derived sediments. The geochemical characteristics of basalts and the pressure conditions support the back-arc setting, suggesting a complex evolution process leading to the enrichment of light rare earth elements in late-stage lavas.

Summary: This study investigates the calc-alkaline plutons and their mafic magmatic enclaves in a Proto-Tethyan intra-oceanic arc using field investigation, petrology, geochronology, and geochemistry. The results show that these plutons were derived from subduction-metasomatized arc mantle and underwent multi-stage fractional crystallization to generate different composition. These calc-alkaline plutons are crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of continental crust.

Summary: This paper presents new data on the elemental and isotopic composition of basalts and the ages of zircons from the Subashi ophiolite in the West Kunlun Orogenic Belt (W-KOB). The results suggest that the Subashi ophiolite originated from a depleted spinel lherzolite mantle source in a mid-ocean ridge setting. The ages of the zircons indicate the existence of the Proto-Tethys ocean basin during the Early Paleozoic.

Summary: The asthenosphere beneath ancient and modern oceans is heterogeneous due to the recycling of old mantle domains and subducted oceanic crust and sediments. The mantle peridotites from the Kop Mountain ophiolite in the Neo-Tethys underwent ancient melt extraction and Jurassic melt metasomatism, representing recycled ancient sub-oceanic mantle domains. The Os isotopic distribution of Neo-Tethyan ophiolites is similar to global abyssal peridotites, indicating a highly heterogeneous asthenosphere with various mantle inputs.

Summary: The Qilian Orogen in eastern Gondwana is an important region for understanding the tectonic evolution of the northern Proto-Tethys Ocean. This study presents detailed analyses of detrital zircon U-Pb and Hf isotopes, as well as whole-rock element and Nd isotopic geochemistry of Early Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in the southeastern Qilian Orogen. The results reveal the provenance and tectonic history of these rocks, showing that the Qilian Block was tectonically related to neighboring blocks during the Early Paleozoic. The double-sided subduction of the North and South Qilian oceans and the development of sedimentation in different basins during the Ordovician to Silurian stages are also inferred.

Summary: The systematic mapping of the Xigaze ophiolite in South Tibet revealed a nearly intact structure of the ophiolitic sequence, with the identification of a serpentinized shear zone preserved within. The structural and petrological features of the shear zone are similar to detachment faults within modern oceanic core complexes, suggesting formation at a spreading ridge.

Summary: Early Carboniferous granitoids in the Yining and Central Tianshan blocks of Chinese western Tianshan provide insights into the tectonic settings and evolutionary history of the South Tianshan Ocean. The monzogranites and syenogranites from the Kalejun Mountains in the southern Yining Block were emplaced at 356 Ma and 344 Ma respectively, characterized by high silica content and depleted in certain elements, suggesting a connection to the roll-back of the South Tianshan oceanic slab which likely ceased by the end of the Early Carboniferous.

Summary: The Yellow River Jingtai Stone Forest is a valuable and rare natural landform in the Loess Plateau in northwest China. This study investigates the rock mass structural planes and their impact on slope stability in the stone forest. The results show that these structural planes can be classified into three types and play a crucial role in controlling the stability of the rock mass slope. The study also analyzes the mechanical characteristics of the rocks under different water conditions and identifies four failure patterns caused by the combination of various structural planes. The findings provide important theoretical and technical support for slope stability analysis, geological heritage protection, and disaster warning in the area.

Summary: This paper studied the developmental characteristics and mechanisms of ground fissures in the transition zone between a basin and mountain. The study found that the ground fissures have a parallel strike to the piedmont fault and exhibit both horizontal extension and vertical offset. Shallow geophysical results revealed that the ground fissure is a manifestation of the piedmont fault. Continuous groundwater overexploitation led to consolidation and settlement in the hanging wall of the fault, intensifying the movement speed of the ground fissure. The findings provide important references for studying ground fissures in basin-mountain transition zones and guidance for prevention and mitigation of such geological disasters.

Summary: The high demand for tantalum has led to a scarcity in its supply, with factors such as the decline in mining activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic and price volatility of tantalum ore. To address the long-term supply shortage, reliable, stable, and transparent supply channels should be established, and the transformation of artisanal and small-scale mining in central Africa into a modern mining system is suggested.

Summary: The chemodiversity of soil organic matter affects the performance of nanomaterial-assisted bacterial agents. High-aromatic solid organic matter inhibits the bioavailability of pollutants, while lignin-dominant dissolved organic matter is a favored substrate for degradation. Aliphatic organic matter promotes pollutant bioavailability. The category and biotransformation potential of organic matter components determine the stimulation of nanomaterial-assisted bacterial agents on pollutant degradation.

Summary: The study of the dynamic response and failure mechanism of rock slope is crucial in geotechnical engineering. Through a shaking table test and comparison with the actual rock slope, it was found that the failure mode of a rock slope with fault structure involves tension cracks, followed by fracturing and shear sliding. This research provides important data and support for early risk warning and the development of geological heritages.
