Abstract The crustally derived Tungsten Plutonic Suite (TPS) in the northern Canadian Cordillera is responsible for several of world’s most important tungsten (W) resources, but actual source rocks to these exceptionally metallogenic magmas have never been identified. Detrital zircon studies improved our knowledge exposed supracrustal packages region, such that a U-Pb study inherited cores TPS ...

Global mantle convection significantly impacts the processes at Earth’s surface and has been used to gain insights on plate driving forces, lithospheric deformation, and the thermal and compositional structure of the mantle. Upper-mantle seismic anisotropy has been widely employed to study both present and past deformation processes at lithospheric and asthenospheric depths. The eastern China r...
