Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Many granites result from anatexis of common crustal rock types and the segregation,
aggregation, ascent and emplacement of the resultant magma. What then is the connection …

This new edition of “Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks” has several completely revised
chapters and all chapters have updated references and additional or redrawn figures. All …

This new edition of the classic textbook presents a large number of diagrams showing the
stability relations among minerals and groups of minerals found in metamorphic rocks. The …

Earth's continental crust has grown and been recycled throughout geologic history along
convergent plate margins. The main locus of continental crustal growth is in intra-oceanic …

抄録 The Japanese Islands consist fundamentally of late Paleozoic to Cenozoic accretionary
complexes that formed in situ in a subduction zone along the East Asian continental margin …

Continental growth has been episodic, reflecting the episodic nature of mantle dynamics as
well as surface dynamics of the Earth, the net result of which is exhibited by the present …

There is no consensus as to how the extreme metamorphic conditions required to form
granulites are attained, or how these rocks relate to crustal growth and differentiation …

We report here on two distinct processes of deformation affecting graphite in fault zones of
the Hidaka metamorphic belt, Hokkaido, Japan. One process involves the micrometer-scale …

The island of Hokkaido is a young accretionary terrane, basically built with a Jurassic
accretionary complex and Cretaceous arc in the west (NE Japan arc terrane), a Cretaceous …
