Large Accretionary Complexes of the World: Evolution of the southern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

这是一个与来自俄罗斯、中国、法国和蒙古的科学家合作的研究项目。目的是阐明地球上最大的增生造山带之一中亚造山带（CAOB）的构造-地球动力学，年代学和古地理及其演化，中亚造山带是国际大气圈计划（ILP）的ERAS-Initiative（地球空间和时间的增生系统）的一部分。我们计划在吉尔吉斯斯坦、哈萨克斯坦、新疆和蒙古南部进行新元古代至古生代岩石的综合构造、年代学、古地磁和地球化学研究。我们希望建立一个不同时代的地形组合，这些地形聚集和碰撞形成了地球上最大但最不为人所知的造山系统之一。该项目将有助于更好地理解造山过程，并对ILP做出贡献。实地和实验室工作将由来自美因茨、慕尼黑、莫斯科、北京、斯特拉斯堡和乌兰巴托的小组共同进行。这也是对igcp项目480的贡献。

This is a collaborative research project with scientists from Russia, China, France and Mongolia.The aim is to elucidate the tectonic-geodynamic, chronologic and palaeogeographic and evolutionof one of the largest accretionary orogens on Earth, the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), aspart of the ERAS-Initiative (Earth accretionary systems in space and time) of the InternatioinalLithosphere Program (ILP). We are planning integrated structural, geochronological, palaeomagneticand geochemical studies on Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic rocks in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan,the Xinjiang Province of NW-China and southern Mongolia. We expect to establish an assemblageof terranes of different ages that accreted and collided to form one of the largest, but least understood,orogenic systems on Earth. This project should contribute to a better understanding ofaccretionary orogenic processes and is a contribution to ILP. Field- and laboratory work will becarried out jointly by groups from Mainz, Munich, Moscow, Beijing, Strasbourg and Ulaanbaatar.This is also a contribution to IGCP-Project 480.
