Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an
accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and …

Shear zones play a major role in the deformation of the crust at a variety of scales, as
expressions of strain localization during orogeny and rifting, and also as reactivated …

This study presents a new laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-
ICPMS) based U-Pb geochronometric method for dating grossular-andradite (grandite) …

To investigate the systematics of the 176 Lu–176 Hf and 147 Sm–143 Nd garnet
chronometers, we performed REE and isotope analyses on garnet crystals of different size …

Garnet's potential as a chronometer of tectonometamorphic processes and conditions was
first recognized over 30 years ago. The Sm–Nd and Lu–Hf systems have since emerged as …

We present a method to reconstruct the dehydration flux associated with garnet-forming
reactions during subduction. Garnet-bearing blueschists from the island of Sifnos, Greece, in …

Variations of rare earth element (REE) concentrations in metamorphic garnet are an
important source of information of geodynamic and geochemical processes in the deeper …

The discovery of metamorphic coesite and diamond in upper crustal gneisses provides
evidence that the least dense part of the lithosphere can be subducted to mantle depths …

Unravelling the timing and rate of subduction-zone metamorphism and H 2 O release
requires linking time to the compositional changes of petrogenetic indicator minerals in …

We use coupled zoned geochronology and thermodynamic modeling of garnet to elucidate
the nature and scale of metamorphic dehydration during Eocene subduction of a …
