Deep crustal and mantle rocks are exhumed in core complex mode of extension in three
types of structures: metamorphic core complexes, oceanic core complexes and magma poor …

Granite petrogenesis is associated with the formation and evolution of continental crust
along convergent plate boundaries. While magmatic processes such as partial melting and …

As a consequence of secular cooling of the Earth, there is generally no modern analog to
assist in understanding the tectonic style that may have operated in the Archean. Higher …

Even though many basic properties of non-volcanic rifted margins are predicted by uniform
extension of the lithosphere, uniform extension fails to explain other important …

Episodes of ultrahigh-temperature (UHT,≥ 900° C) granulite metamorphism have been
recorded in mountain belts since the Neoarchean. However, evidence for the tectonic …

The geological evolution of orogens is the sum of events related to both their cycle of
generation as well as features inherited from their basement units. The Himalayan Orogen …

We conducted a 2‐D thermomechanical modeling study of intrusion of granitic magma into
the continental crust to explore the roles of multiple pulsing and dike‐diapir interactions in …

Lithospheric mantle stratification is a common feature in cratonic areas which has been
demonstrated by geophysical and geochemical studies. The influence of lithospheric mantle …

The core complexes of the North Aegean result from the gravity spreading of a thrust wedge,
driven by the Hellenic slab rollback, since middle Eocene. The development of the Southern …

The Mediterranean realm shaped by extensive back-arc extension after multiple collisions
between Europe and isolated continental blocks is the second densest occurrence of …
