Discovery of coesite, diamond, and extreme 18O-depletion in eclogites from the Dabie–Sulu
orogen in central-east China has contributed much to our understanding of subduction of …

Abstract The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) are one of Earth's great mountain belts and
are a fundamental physiographic feature of Antarctica. They are continental-scale, traverse a …

In general, Archean rocks exhibit rather ordinary moderate-P-high-T facies series
metamorphism; neither blueschists nor any record of deep continental subduction and return …

More and more evidence is being discovered in Phanerozoic collision belts of the burial of
crustal rocks to previously unsuspected (and ever increasing) depths, presently on the order …

Continental crust (density~ 2.8 g· cm-3) resists subduction into the earth's mantle (~ 3.3 g·
cm-3) because of buoyancy. However, more than 20 recognized ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) …

Ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism refers to mineralogical modifications of continental
and oceanic crustal protoliths±associated mafic-ultramafic rocks initially formed or emplaced …

Numerous ultra-high-pressure minerals have been recovered from podiform chromities in
the Luobusa ophiolite, Tibet. Recovered minerals include diamond, moissanite, Fe-silicides …

Satellite remote sensing imagery is especially useful for geological investigations in
Antarctica because of its remoteness and extreme environmental conditions that constrain …

Coesite inclusions in garnet have been recognized in eclogitic rocks from western Tianshan,
northwest China. The coesite grains exhibit distinct radial cracks in host porphyroblastic …

The studied ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) eclogites, located in the southwestern part of the
North Dabie complex zone (NDZ) in central China, represent deeply subducted mafic lower …
