Partial melting is the fundamental process by which juvenile crust was produced from the
mantle and subsequently reworked to become the stable, compositionally-differentiated …

New activity–composition (a–x) relations for minerals commonly occurring in metapelites are
presented for use with the internally consistent thermodynamic dataset of Holland & Powell …

Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme form of regional
crustal metamorphism, with temperatures exceeding 900° C. UHT crustal metamorphism is …

Central Gondwana was assembled by three continental collisions in relatively quick
succession: late Cryogenian East Africa Orogen, early Ediacaran West Antarctica Orogen …

Abstract The Precambrian Southern Granulite terrane of south India has a crustal evolution
history broadly bracketed between the late Archean and Cambrian with records of …

Available U–Pb geochronology of the Precambrian shield of Madagascar is summarized
and integrated into a synthesis of the region's geological history. The shield is described in …

Partial melting and melt drainage from deep suprasolidus crust in orogens has important
consequences for tectonics. Melt extraction along prograde segments of clockwise P–T …

Abstract Fe3+ and XFe3+, defined as Fe3+/(Fe2++ Fe3+) on a molar basis, are now
recognised as key parameters in phase equilibrium modelling. A hindrance is that it is only …

Abstract Tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) suites constitute a large proportion of the
Archean geological record; however, the geodynamic processes that generated them, and …

Internal heating can cause melting, metamorphism, and crustal weakening in convergent
orogens. This study evaluates the role of radiogenic heat production (RHP) in a …
