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 …

Ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme type of crustal
metamorphism, with the crust capable of withstanding temperatures≥ 900° C. Mineral …

Thermobarometry, the estimation of the pressure–temperature (P–T) conditions of
metamorphism, can be undertaken by using pseudosection calculations as well as by …

At the core of petrochronology is the relationship between geochronology and the
petrological evolution of major mineral assemblages. The focus of this chapter is on …

Partial melting is the fundamental process by which juvenile crust was produced from the
mantle and subsequently reworked to become the stable, compositionally-differentiated …

Partial melting and melt drainage from deep suprasolidus crust in orogens has important
consequences for tectonics. Melt extraction along prograde segments of clockwise P–T …

Lawsonite eclogites represent fossil records of processes occurring during subduction of
cold-and fast-subducting slabs, and provide an opportunity to investigate the thermal and …

We present the results from a study combining zoned geochronology, mineral trace element
geochemistry and phase equilibria modeling of a mafic lithology from the Zermatt Saas …

Abstract In Alpine Corsica (France), deeply subducted metabasalts are well preserved as
lawsonite‐bearing eclogite (Law‐Ecl), occurrence of which is restricted to∼ 10 localities …

Serpentinite mélanges formed in the subduction zone channel of an intra-oceanic arc
system are exposed in the Rio San Juan complex of northern Hispaniola. This study …
