Initiation of plate tectonics in the Hadean: Eclogitization triggered by the ABEL Bombardment by Shigenori Maruyama, M. Santosh, Shintaro Azuma

“…When plate tectonics began on the Earth has been long debated and here we argue this topic based on the records of Earth-Moon geology and asteroid belt to conclude that the onset of plate tectonics was during the middle Hadean (4.37–4.20 Ga). …”

Chronological, Petrogenetic, and Tectonic Significance of Paleoproterozoic Continental Crust within the North China Craton during the Global Tectono-Magmatic Lull by Heng Liu, Lei Liu, Dexian Zhang, Inkyeong Moon, M. Santosh, Yanyan Zhou, Tianyang Hu, Shisheng Kang

“…The presence of meta-basalt to andesite assemblages and diverse intermediate to felsic magmatic rocks implies magmatic activity within a convergent plate boundary tectonic environment with potential influence from plume-triggered extensional processes, supported by evidence of slab rollback and upwelling of mantle material.…”

Petrogenesis of the Early Paleozoic Dioritic–Granitic Magmatism in the Eastern North Qilian Orogen, NW China: Implications for Tethyan Tectonic Evolution by Fei Xue, Fan Yang, Weidong Ren, M. Santosh, Zesheng Qian, Yin Huang, Zijian Tan

“…However, their petrogenesis, magma source, and tectonic evolution remain controversial. Here, we investigate the Leigongshan, Zhigou, and Dalongcun intrusions and present geochronological, geochemical, and isotopic data, aiming to refine the comprehension of their timing and petrogenesis, which will contribute to understanding the tectonic evolution of the Proto-Tethys Ocean. …”
