This book presents a comprehensive coverage of the magmatic and crustal evolution of the Tibetan Plateau through time, based mainly on the recent data and observations of the authors. It provides extensive geochemical, isotopic and geochronological datasets to better constrain the geodynamic evolution of the highest and thickest orogenic plateau in the world. It is a unique and original contribution to our understanding of the geology and landscape of the “roof of the world” in an integrated and multi-disciplinary approach. All chapters in the book are process-oriented and data-rich, and reflect the most recent knowledge and information on the Tibetan Plateau. All five authors of the book have worked extensively in Tibet and in the adjacent areas over the years. Their familiarity with both the geology of Tibet and all the research done there by different scientific teams during the last 30 years are a major driving force behind this book. Chapter 1 - Spatial distribution of Igneous rocks in the Tibetan Plateau (Dong) -- Chapter 2 - Pre-Cenozoic igneous rocks of the Tibetan Plateau (Zhu) -- Chapter 3 - Early Cenozoic igneous rocks in the Tibetan Plateau (Dong) -- Chapter 4 - Cenozoic post-collisional igneous rocks of the Tibetan Plateau (Zhao) -- Chapter 5 - Tectonic evolution from Pangea to the Neo-Tethys, and to the Tibetan Plateau (Deng) -- Chapter 6 - India- Asia collision and the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau (Mo) -- Chapter 7 - Accretional and collisional processes of the Lhasa Terrane towards the formation of the Tibetan Plateau (Zhu) -- Chapter 8- Crustal growth in continental collision zones and crustal “destruction” in continental interiors by granitoid magmatism (Niu) -- Chapter 9 - Diversity and evolution of the Tibetan Plateau lithosphere (Zhao) -- Chapter 10 - Formation, preservation, and metallogenic fertility of juvenile crust in the eastern Tethyan collisional orogens (Hou). by Xuanxue Mo, Jinfu Deng, Zengqian Hou, Zhidan Zhao, Guochen Dong, Dicheng Zhu, Yaoling Niu.
