Deformation of the continental crust is influenced by the pre-existing structural framework,
fluid availability, strain rate, and pressure-temperature conditions. We investigate the …

Metamorphism of dry, lower crust within orogens is often localized in shear zones composed
of mechanically weaker rocks,,–. Several field-based studies suggest shear zone …

Abstract In Holsnøy (Bergen Arcs, Norway), metastable granulite facies anorthosite rocks are
partially eclogitised within hydrous shear zones, that have been interpreted as widening …

Geological processes involving deformation and/or reactions are highly influenced by the
rock grain size, especially if diffusion‐controlled processes take place such as metamorphic …

High temperatures exert a significant influence on the mechanical and fluid flow properties
of rocks and minerals. In crystalline rocks, differential thermal expansion of minerals is …

Metamorphic transformations involve important changes in material properties that can be
responsible for rheological alterations of rocks. Studying the dynamics of these changes is …

In natural lower crustal rocks, we observe that plagioclase breakdown is often partial as
evidenced by the presence of epidote‐group minerals and the absence of the remaining …
