This study discussed the pertrological classification, geochronology, petrogenesis and tectonic evolution of early Paleozoic granites from the Xingshuping gold deposit in the East Qinling orogenic belt. In order to achieve this target, we carried out an integrated study of zircon U–Pb age, whole-rock major and trace elements, as well as Sr–Nd–Hf isotope compositions for the Xingshuping granites (part of the Wuduoshan pluton) from the Erlangping unit. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) zircon U–Pb dating constrains the emplacement age of the Xingshuping granites at 446.2 ± 1.2 Ma. The rocks at Xingshuping can be divided into two types: mainly biotite granite and monzonitic granite. The biotite granites are typical adakitic rocks, while the monzonitic granites show characteristics similar to normal arc volcanic rocks. The geochemical compositions reveal that they were derived from a clay-rich, plagioclase-rich and biotite-rich psammitic lower continental crust source, with contributions of mantle-derived magmas. The distinction is that the biotite granites were primarily derived from partial melting in a syn-collision extension setting, whereas the monzonitic granite went through a fractional crystallization process in an intraplate anorogenic setting.

Abstract. Rock glaciers are typical periglacial landforms. They can indicate the existence of permafrost, and can also shed light on the regional geomorphological and climatic conditions under which they may have developed. This article provides the first rock glacier inventory of Daxue Shan, south-eastern Tibetan Plateau. The inventory is based on analyses of Google Earth imagery. In total, 295 rock glaciers were identified in Daxue Shan, covering a total area of 55.70 km2 between the altitudes of 4300 and 4600 m above sea level. Supported by ArcGIS and SPSS software programmes, we extracted and calculated morphometric parameters of these rock glaciers, and analysed the characteristics of their spatial distribution within Daxue Shan. Our inventory suggests that the lower altitudinal boundary for permafrost across the eight aspects of observed slopes differs significantly and that the lower altitudinal permafrost boundary is ∼ 104 m higher on western than eastern-facing slopes. Moraine-type and talus-derived rock glaciers exhibit mean gradients that are all concentrated within the 22–35∘ range. However, lobate rock glaciers (27–45∘) have a higher mean gradient than tongue-shaped rock glaciers (22–35∘). Shady (i.e. N, NE, and E) slopes appear related to the presence of moraine-type rock glaciers, whereas sunny (i.e. W, SW, and S) slopes appear related to the presence of talus-derived rock glaciers. Rock glaciers in Daxue Shan are more concentrated within tertiary monzonitic granite, which is more sensitive than other lithological components to the freeze–thaw process. Continuous weathering of this substrate provides the ideal raw material for the rock glacier development. These results show that environmental controls (i.e. topographical, climatic, lithological factors) greatly affect the formation and development of rock glaciers. This study provides important data for exploring the relation between maritime periglacial environments and the development of rock glaciers on the south-eastern Tibetan Plateau (TP). It may also highlight the characteristics typical of rock glaciers found in a maritime setting.

Monzonitic granite is a low-permeability rock. Monzonitic granite formations are ideal for underground storage of oil due to their low permeability and high mechanical strength. In this study, a series of coupled hydromechanical triaxial tests are carried out using monzonitic granite specimens. The influence of confining and fluid pressures on stress, strain, and permeability is investigated. Failure characteristics under different confining and fluid pressures are discussed based on the analysis of macro fracture planes and micro scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The test results show that the change of permeability with stress and strain reflects the deformation stages of compaction, compression, crack propagation, coalesce, and failure of cracks. Due to the low porosity, the change of permeability is small in the initial phases of compaction and compression, whereas there is a significant increase in permeability when new cracks start to develop and coalesce. Confining pressures have a significant impact on the strength and permeability, particularly the crack damage stress of the rock. Compared with confining pressure, the effect of fluid pressure on rock strength and crack damage stress is small. For the monzonitic granite specimens tested, changing the confining pressure results in different failure modes, whereas the fluid pressure has a relatively small effect on the failure modes.
