A number of observations point to the participation of brines in high-grade metamorphic
processes. These include findings of alkali and alkaline-earth halides as daughter crystals in …

Lower crustal granulites, which constitute the base of all continents, belong to two series:
high-pressure granulites generated by crustal thickening (subduction) and (ultra) high …

Graphite deposits result from the metamorphism of sedimentary rocks rich in carbonaceous
matter or from precipitation from carbon-bearing fluids (or melts). The latter process forms …

Abstract Hydrogeochemical and Health Risk Assessments of trace elements are integral to
groundwater resource assessment, utilization, and human health. Investigation of …

During granulite-facies metamorphism of metasedimentary rocks by the infiltration of
carbonic fluids, the disappearance of hydrated minerals leads to the liberation of aqueous …

CO 2-bearing fluid inclusions (FI) from granulites have been the main advocate for an active
role of fluids during high-temperature metamorphism, yet the fluid regime of the deep crust …

Until the middle of the 20th century, the continental crust was considered to be dominantly
granitic. This hypothesis was revised after the Second World War when several new studies …

Abstract LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dates and EPMA trace-element maps of titanite were collected
from calc-silicate gneisses of the Ikalamavony (peak T: 750–800° C) and Anosyen (peak T …

Raman spectroscopy is a commonly applied nondestructive analytical technique for
characterizing fluid and melt inclusions. The exceptional spatial resolution (~ 1 µm) and …

This chapter reviews factors, which control the distribution of the two major halogens, F and
Cl, in high-grade metamorphic rocks; their compositional correlations and partitioning …
