Plate tectonic forcing leads to changes in the physical conditions that affect the lithosphere.
In response to such changes, notably the local temperature (T) and pressure (P), rocks …

Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an
accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and …

Chemically zoned garnet growth and coeval modification of this zoning through diffusion are
calculated during prograde metamorphic heating to temperatures of up to 850° C. This …

Compositional mapping has greatly impacted mineralogical and petrological studies over
the past half-century with increasing use of the electron probe micro-analyser. Many …

Monazite growth and composition has been modeled in the system K2O–Na2O–CaO–MnO–
MgO–FeO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O–Y2O3–Ce2O3–P2O5–F and a pseudosection is presented …

Mounting evidence suggests that partial disequilibrium—meaning disequilibrium for some
elements, but not for others—may be a common but rarely detected phenomenon during …

Abstract Garnets from the Zermatt-Saas Fee eclogites contain narrow central peaks for Lu+
Yb+ Tm±Er and at least one additional small peak towards the rim. The REE Sm+ Eu+ Gd+ …

Many migmatites and granulites preserve evidence of a clockwise P–T evolution involving
decompression (decrease in P) while close to the thermal peak. The extent of post‐thermal …

Variations of rare earth element (REE) concentrations in metamorphic garnet are an
important source of information of geodynamic and geochemical processes in the deeper …

A persistent problem in the study of garnet geochemistry is that the consideration of major
elements alone excludes a wealth of information preserved by trace elements, particularly …
