Crustal melting and flow beneath northern Tibet: Evidence from mid-Miocene to Quaternary strongly peraluminous rhyolites in the southern Kunlun Range

One of the major geophysical discoveries concerning the Tibetan Plateau is the existence of unusually weak layers in the mid- to lower crust, a characteristic widely interpreted as the result of crustal melting. This interpretation, however, remains highly contentious, particularly when applied to n...
