Shortening However, a more complex history is suggested by studies of ophiolitic melanges south of the BNSZ “within” the Foreland basin Lhasa terrane. One such mélange belt is the Shiquanhe-Namu Co mélange zone (SNMZ) that is coincident with Suture zone the Geren Co-Namu Co thrust (GNT). To better understand the structure, age, and provenance of rocks exposed Provenance along the SNMZ we conducted geologic mapping, sandstone petrography, and U-Pb zircon geochronology of Geochronology rocks straddling the SNMZ. The GNT is north-directed and places Paleozoic strata against the Yongzhu ophiolite and Cretaceous strata along strike. A gabbro in the Yongzhu ophiolite yielded a U-Pb zircon age of 153 Ma. Detrital zircon age data from Permian rocks in the hanging wall suggests that the Lhasa terrane has affinity with the Himalaya and Qiangtang, rather than northwest Australia.

  • RESEARCH New Biostratigraphic Evidence of Late Permian to Late
    RESEARCH New biostratigraphic evidence of Late Permian to Late Triassic deposits from Central Tibet and their paleogeographic implications Gui-chun Wu1,*, Zhan-sheng Ji2, Wei-hua Liao3, and Jian-xin Yao1 1KEY LABORATORY OF STRATIGRAPHY AND PALAEONTOLOGY, MINISTRY OF LAND AND RESOURCES, INSTITUTE OF GEOLOGY, CHINESE ACADEMY OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES, BEIJING 100037, CHINA 2CHINESE ACADEMY OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES, BEIJING 100037, CHINA 3NANJING INSTITUTE OF GEOLOGY AND PALAEONTOLOGY, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, NANJING, 210008, CHINA ABSTRACT Triassic deposits in the Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone are important for understanding its tectonic nature and evolutionary history, but have not been systematically studied due to a lack of biostratigraphic data. For a long time, the Upper Triassic Quehala Group featuring clasolite has been regarded as the only rocky unit. In recent years, the silicite-dominated Gajia Formation that bears radiolarian fossils was suggested to represent Ladinian to Carnian deposits. The Upper Permian and Lower Triassic rocks have never been excavated and thus are considered to be absent. This research, however, reveals that fossils aged from the Late Permian to Anisian of the Middle Trias- sic and Norian of the Late Triassic have been preserved in the central Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone, which provides evidence of Upper Permian to early Middle Triassic deposits and provides new insights on the Upper Triassic strata as well. A new Triassic strata succes- sion is thus proposed for the Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone, and it demonstrates great similarities with those from Lhasa to the south and Qiangtang to the north. Therefore, we deduce that the Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone was under a similar depositional setting as its two adjacent terranes, and it was likely a carbonate platform background because limestones were predominant across the Triassic.

The Tibetan Plateau observatory of plateau scale soil moisture and soil temperature (Tibet-Obs) 17 was established ten years ago, which has been widely used to calibrate/validate satellite- and model-based 18 soil moisture (SM) products for their applications to the Tibetan Plateau (TP). This paper reports on the status 19 of the Tibet-Obs and presents a 10-year (2009-2019) surface SM dataset produced based on in situ 20 measurements taken at a depth of 5 cm collected from the Tibet-Obs that consists of three regional-scale SM 21 monitoring networks, i.e.

Here, 4 3 Received 2 May 2016 using apatite (U–Th–Sm)/He and He/ He thermochronometry, we reconstruct the exhumation history Received in revised form 19 September of the Rutog batholith during the Neogene. Thermal modeling in 1D using the QTQt program indicates 2016 that relatively slow cooling occurred from 30 Ma to 19 Ma, which we interpret as an exhumation rate of Accepted 21 September 2016 ∼10 m/Ma. This was followed by two pulses of moderate cooling from 19 to 17 Ma and ∼11 to 9Ma Available online 20 October 2016 that correspond to a total exhumation of about 1500 m.
