The Daba Shan Orocline is located in the northeastern Sichuan Basin, and has undergone foreland propagation and distinct surface uplift owing to the eastward expansion of the Tibetan Plateau since the late Cenozoic. In order to describe and quantify the earth surface processes respond to deep geological mechanisms, and to detect the kind of tectonic deformation in the Daba Shan area during the late Cenozoic, various geomorphic indices were analyzed for study area. The obtained results are: (1) The northeast of the Hanzhong Basin, the Hannan-Micang Massifs, along the Chengkou-Fangxian fault, and the Shennongjia Massif exhibit intense tectonic activity. (2) The spatial patterns of the channel steepness indices indicate that the western segment of the northern Daba Shan (Fenghuang Shan and Paotaizi region) have higher uplift rates than the eastern. (3) The longitudinal profile analysis revealed that the landscape evolution of the Shennongjia Massif is in a transient state, with an uplift amplitude of 1700-1900 m since the end of the Paleogene (25 Ma), and an average uplift rate of 0.072 +/- 0.004 mm/a. The paleochannel reconstruction indicate an incision of similar to 900-1000 m since the late Neogene (3.0-3.4 Ma), with the average uplift rate being 03 +/- 0.03 mm/a. (4) Three tectonic deformation zones can be distinguished in the Daba Shan (from west to east), the shortening deformation, strike-slip deformation, and vertical uplift zones. These observations suggest that the eastward growth of the Tibetan Plateau has affected the Daba Shan area and shaped the modern landscape. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Detrital zircon U-Pb ages of metasedimentary rocks from the Neoproterozoic Zhoutan Group in the northern Cathaysia Block (South China): Provenance and tectonic implications

Bo Hui, Yunpeng Dong, Franz Neubauer, Shuai He, Jan Varga

Summary: The Neoproterozoic Zhoutan Group in South China provides an important record of sedimentary system, with new detrital zircon U-Pb dating revealing its depositional age, provenance mainly from the Jiangnan Orogen, and metamorphic history during the Silurian period. These findings suggest its tectonic affinity between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks with a potential boundary north of its current location.

Geochemistry and geochronology of early Palaeozoic seamount in Western Kunlun orogenic belt and the tectonic implications

Chen Yang, Yunpeng Dong, Hui Wang, Zhongyue Lin, Youyun Liao, Shangpeng Zhang, Huan Liu

Summary: This study discovers a newly formed seamount on the Tianshuihai terrane, which exhibits typical characteristics of oceanic island basalts (OIBs). Zircon U-Pb dating reveals a Late Ordovician crystallization age for the seamount. Detrital zircon analysis suggests that parts of the sediment likely originated from the remnant of the Proto-Tethys Ocean and were deposited on or accreted into the seamount during oceanic crust subduction. This finding provides robust evidence for the evolution of the Mazar-Kangxiwar suture zone (MKSZ) in the Proto-Tethys Ocean and supports its inclusion as part of the Western Kunlun orogenic belt (WKOB).

Neoproterozoic active margin in the northwestern Yangtze Block, South China: new clues from detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry of sedimentary rocks from the Hengdan Group

Bo Hui, Yunpeng Dong, Feifei Zhang, Shengsi Sun, Shuai He

Summary: The study on the Neoproterozoic sedimentary successions of the Hengdan Group on the NW Yangtze Block used detrital zircon U-Pb dating and geochemistry to determine a maximum depositional age of c. 720 Ma and intermediate to felsic sources for sediments accumulated in a basin related to an active continental margin geodynamic setting. These findings support proposals for subduction-related tectonics along the western margin of the Yangtze Block during the early Neoproterozoic.

Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of the Neoproterozoic mafic intrusions in the Bikou Terrane along the northwestern margin of the Yangtze Block, South China

Bo Hui, Yunpeng Dong, Feifei Zhang, Shengsi Sun, Shuai He

Summary: This study presents new insights into the formation of the Neoproterozoic mafic intrusions in the Bikou Terrane, indicating that they were likely derived from partial melting of a mantle wedge source metasomatized by slab-derived melts. The interaction between upwelling enriched asthenospheric mantle and mantle wedge peridotite may have been triggered by the slab rollback process in a subduction-related environment, supporting the persistent subduction-related system along the northwestern margin of the Yangtze Block during the early Neoproterozoic.

Geochronology and petrogenesis of paleoproterozoic post-collisional quartz monzodiorites from the Helanshan Complex, North China Craton: Implications for crust-mantle interaction

Xiao-Fei Xu, Long-Long Gou, Yun-Peng Dong, Xiao-Ming Liu, Zheng-Hui Li, Cheng-Li Zhang, Xiao-Ping Long, Yu-Hang Zhao, Feng Zhou

Summary: The quartz monzodiorites from the Helanshan Complex were formed through fractional crystallization of mantle-derived magma and assimilation of crustal material in a post-collisional setting. These rocks record a tectonic transition from compression to extension during the period around 1.95-1.93 billion years ago.

Millennial-scale erosion patterns of the northern Qinling Mountains, Central China: Implications for topographical evolution

Xiaohui Shi, Zhao Yang, Yunpeng Dong, Li Zhang

Summary: The study reveals that the erosion rates of the northern Qinling Mountains are controlled by topographic steepness, with active tectonics playing a key role in the spatial distribution of erosion. Precipitation and lithology have limited influence on erosion, while the active tectonic activity along the Qinling Piedmont Fault and the Taibai Fault is crucial in shaping erosion patterns in this region.

Mafic-ultramafic rocks in the Buqingshan Complex of the East Kunlun Orogen, northern Tibetan Plateau: remnants of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean

Yuangang Yue, Yunpeng Dong, Shengsi Sun, Dengfeng He, Bo Hui, Xiang Ren, Bin Zhang, Weidong He

Summary: The Buqingshan Complex, a part of the Muztagh-Buqingshan-Anemaqen ophiolitic melange zone, contains oceanic rocks that represent remnants of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. These rocks exhibit characteristics of abyssal peridotites, normal mid-ocean ridge basalts (N-MORB), and oceanic island basalts (OIB). The geological, geochemical, and geochronological data suggest that the Late Palaeozoic N-MORB- and OIB-type rock assemblages are most likely fragments of mid-ocean ridge oceanic lithosphere and seamounts, respectively, representing the evolution stages of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean.

Detrital U-Pb zircon and 40Ar/39Ar muscovite geochronology of Triassic and Jurassic strata in the southern East Kunlun, northern Tibet Plateau and their geological implications

Bo Zhou, Yunpeng Dong, Zhao Yang, Johann Genser, Franz Neubauer, Dengfeng He, Bo Hui, Xiaohui Shi

Summary: Geochronological dating of detrital minerals from sedimentary rocks can provide valuable records of the erosional and unroofing history of orogenic systems. This study used detrital U-Pb zircon and 40Ar/39Ar muscovite dating to investigate the thermal and erosional evolution of the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt during the Mesozoic. The results suggest that the E-KOB was the major source for Triassic and Jurassic strata in the southern East Kunlun region.

Structural and geochronological constraints on a Late Mesozoic tectonic transformation in the West Qinling Orogenic Belt, China

Le Zhang, Wei Li, Dazhi Jiang, Yunpeng Dong, Li Liang, Wenbin Kang, Jinxiang Zhao, Liuqing Jiang, Falak Sheir

Summary: The Qinling Orogenic Belt was formed through convergence and collision between the North China Block and South China Block during the Palaeozoic to Late Triassic. The exact termination time of the Late Mesozoic contractional deformation and the transformation from compression to extension remains unclear. However, the extensional shear zone in the West Qinling Orogenic Belt provides important clues to understanding the tectonic transformation and uplift of the orogenic belt. This study focuses on the kinematics, deformation temperature, and geochronology of the shear zone, revealing that it formed under high greenschist-low amphibolite facies conditions and occurred around 120-113 Ma. The extensional collapse of the Qinling Orogenic Belt during the Late Cretaceous led to the rapid uplift and exhumation of the Taibai pluton and the North Qinling Belt in the east.

Late Triassic magmatic rocks in the southern East Kunlun Orogenic Belt, northern Tibetan Plateau: Petrogenesis and tectonic implications

Xiang Ren, Yunpeng Dong, Dengfeng He, Shengsi Sun, Bin Zhang, Bo Zhou, Bo Hui, Yuangang Yue

Summary: This study presents new results on the Xidatan pluton in the southern East Kunlun Orogenic Belt. The study reveals that the pluton is composed of quartz monzodiorite, host monzogranite, and igneous microgranular enclaves. The results suggest a common magma source for the quartz monzodiorite and IMEs, and a possible origin of the host monzogranite from partial melting of lower crustal mafic rocks.

Geochemistry, geochronology and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes of Paleozoic granitoids in the Chinese Altai, NW China: constraints on the conversion from subduction-accretion to syn-/post-collision

Kai Weng, Yunpeng Dong, Liuqing Jiang, Zhongping Ma, Shuangshuang Wang, Bo Chen

Summary: The Altai region of China is rich in granite resources, which can be used to understand the geological history of the area. Through various analyses, we found that the granitoids in the region have different ages and tectonic origins. The gneissic granites formed in the Ordovician period through volcanic magmas extracted from the mantle wedge. The syenogranites in the Devonian period originated from volcanic magmas in a back-arc basin. The diorites in the Permian period were derived from a mixed source involving oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle. The two-mica monzonitic granites and muscovite granites formed through crustal recycling and anatexis of ancient metasedimentary rocks. By combining these findings with previous data, we propose a tectonic evolution sequence in the Altai region, involving continental arc magmatism, back-arc extension, and arc-arc collision.

Exhumation and Deformation of the Daba Shan Orocline as Determined from Modern River Sands Apatite Fission-Track

Jiali You, Zhao Yang, Xiaohui Shi, Chuanbo Shen, Yunpeng Dong, Bin Cheng

Summary: The Daba Shan orocline, located in the northeastern margin of the Sichuan Basin, is believed to be a foreland thrust-fold belt of the Qinling Orogen since the Late Triassic. Understanding the exhumation history of the rocks is crucial to determine the development of this orocline structure. Detrital apatite fission-track dating of modern river sands reveals the regional exhumation history of the Daba Shan orocline, showing four age peaks that can be attributed to tectonic exhumation.

A glacier in transition: Surface elevation change, ELA and geomorphic evolution of a very small glacier in the Dolomites (S-E Alps)

A. Securo, C. Del Gobbo, L. Rettig, S. Pillon, A. De Luca, D. Fontana, E. Benedetti Fasil, R. R. Colucci

Summary: Small glaciers in temperate mountain regions have experienced significant reduction and unprecedented melt rates in recent years. Some glaciers have transitioned from clean ice to debris-covered or even rock glaciers. This study examines the surface elevation change of the Popera Alto glacier in the Sesto Dolomites using LiDAR and Structure from Motion surveys, and analyzes its evolution in terms of surface cover and geomorphic processes. The glacier has lost an average of 0.35 m water equivalent per year over the past 16 years, with active modification of its surface cover by geomorphic processes. The role of debris and local topography feedback has allowed the resilience of the glacier, leading to a marked difference between the current environmental equilibrium line altitude (envELA) and the effective ELA (effELA) of the glacier.

Mid-Holocene climate-glacier relationship inferred from landforms and relict lake sequence, Southern Zanskar ranges, NW Himalaya

Shubhra Sharma, Anil D. Shukla

Summary: The study investigates the relationship between glacial dynamics and lake sedimentation during the mid-Holocene climate variability in the Southern Zanskar ranges. It utilizes geomorphological disposition, elemental geochemistry, and optical chronology of relict lake sediment to reconstruct the pattern of minor glacier responses to climate variability. The results indicate six centennial to millennial-scale climatic phases, with warmer phases represented by decreased mineralogical fine grain flux and increased coarse grain flux. The study highlights the potential of relict lake sediment and para/peri-glacial landforms in understanding glacial dynamics and climate change during the Holocene.
