Strain in the lithosphere localizes into tabular zones known as shear zones that grow from
small outcrop-size individual zones to large composite structures. Nucleation is related to …

Granitic rocks are here described as mixtures of weak and more resistant fractions whose
proportions vary with strain and temperature and control some macroscopic characteristics …

This contribution emphasizes first-order structural and metamorphic characters of
Precambrian accretionary orogens to understand the kinematics and thermomechanical …

В монографии с позиций тектонофизики обобщены результаты изучения строения,
механизмов формирования и эволюции разрывных сетей в разноранговых разломных …

The tectonic evolution of the Arabian–Nubian Shield (ANS), the northern continuation of the
East African Orogen (EAO), is enigmatic and a matter of controversy. The EAO is observed …

Alpine deformation in the Grimsel granodiorite (Aar massif, Central Alps) at greenschist
facies conditions (6.5±1 kbar for 450° C±25° C) is characterized by the development of a …

We describe and interpret an unpublished set of ION Geophysical seismic reflection profile
showing strong organized seismic reflectors at the base of the continental crust of the …

The structural study of the Kolar greenstone belt and surrounding granite‐gneiss terrains
combined with U‐Pb dating reveals that the middle and lower crustal tectonoplutonic pattern …

This study investigates strain distribution in granitoid rocks formerly in the middle crust in the
Central Aar massif, Switzerland and places the deformation behavior in the tectonic …

This paper examines the thermo-mechanical evolution of the lower crust, in Precambrian
times, with an example from southern Madagascar. The finite strain pattern is derived from …
