Convergent plate margins typically experience a transition from subduction to collision dynamics as massive continental blocks enter the subduction channel. Studies of high …
A numerical modelling approach is used to validate the physical and geological reliability of the ablative subduction mechanism during Alpine convergence in order to interpret the …
Abstract In the Sesia-Lanzo Zone, Western Alps, the Rocca Canavese Thrust Sheets (RCT) subunit is characterized by a mixture of mantle-and crust-derived lithologies, such as …
Subduction zones represent one of the most critical settings for fluid recycling as a consequence of dehydration of the subducting lithosphere. A better understanding of fluid …

Detailed mapping of superposed fabrics and their mineral support allows for reconstruction of the tectonometamorphic evolution of the Ivozio Complex, within the inner portion of the …
Microscale dating of distinct domains in minerals that contain relics of multiple metamorphic events is a key tool to characterize the polyphase evolution of complex metamorphic …
Geological mapping, multiscale structural analysis, and estimations of the degree of fabric evolution and of reaction progress allow the construction of a 3D quantitative model of …
Metamorphic transformations and fabric evolution are the consequence of thermo-dynamic processes, lasting from thousands to millions of years. Relative mineral percentages, their …
The effects of the hydration mechanism on continental crust recycling are analyzed through a 2‐D finite element thermomechanical model. Oceanic slab dehydration and consequent …
