The Impact of Topography on Isotopes in Precipitation Across the Central Anatolian Plateau (Turkey)
Fabian SchemmelTamás MikesBora RojayAndreas Mulch
Paleoelevation reconstructions of mountain belts and orogenic plateaus based on stable isotope climate and precipitation records benefit greatly from present-day calibrations that relate the fractionation of hydrogen (δD) and oxygen...

Late Permian-Triassic Magmatic Evolution in the Jinshajiang Orogenic Belt, SW China and Implications for Orogenic Processes Following Closure of the Paleo-Tethys
Jian-Wei ZiPeter A. CawoodWei-Ming FanEric TohverYue-Jun WangT. Campbell McCuaigTou-Ping Peng
Growth of continental crust involves the complex interplay of subduction zone magmatism, to generate the crust, followed by stabilization through crustal thickening, magmatism and ultimately isolation from the active plate...

The Weathering Intensity Scale (WIS): An Alternative Approach of the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA)
Alain MeunierLaurent CanerFabien HubertAbderrazzak El AlbaniDimitri Prêt
The chemical index of alteration (CIA) is a tool to calculate the weathering intensity (Nesbitt and Young, 1982). It has been largely used to reconstitute the past climates on Earth...
