Subduction zone models invoke deformation to be concentrated along the plate interface, in
a region of particularly low temperature. Geophysical observations do not provide …

During the last decades, processes taking place in subduction zones have been a topic of
extensive debate. There are many models on a tectonic scale, but knowledge of deformation …

We have investigated the rheology of hot-pressed polycrystalline omphacite (Di58Jd42,
space group C2/c) at strain rates of 10− 4–10− 5/s, temperatures of 1300–1500K and a …

Eclogite plays an important role in mantle convection and geodynamics in subduction
zones. An improved understanding of processes in the deeper levels of subduction zones …

Sheared amphibolite rocks from Diancang Shan high-grade metamorphic complex along
the Ailao Shan-Red River shear zone, southwestern Yunnan, China, show typical mylonitic …

Elongate and deformed garnets from Glenelg, NW Scotland, occur within a thin shear zone
transecting an eclogite body that has undergone partial retrogression to amphibolite facies …

The deformation of eclogites and the driving forces for their fabric development are an
important topic, potentially allowing to determine deformation rates and stresses in …

This study aims at further understanding of the mechanisms how lattice-preferred
orientations (LPO) develop during deformation in the main eclogite minerals. Microstructures …

Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO)
studies on Himalayan high-and ultrahigh-pressure eclogites are reported. Subduction …

Abstract Eclogites from the North Qilian suture zone are high‐pressure low‐temperature
metamorphic rocks of ocean crust protolith, and occur in both massive and foliated varieties …
