Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …
Crustal Heat Flow: A Guide to Measurement and Modelling is a handbook for geologists and geophysicists who manipulate thermal data, particularly for petroleum exploration. In theory …
Major intrusions of granitic rocks are found in several tectonic settings and, in all cases, crustal melts may contribute to the volumes of granitic magma. High-grade metamorphism …
At depths greater than several kilometers in the crust, elevated temperature, elevated confining pressure, and the presence of reactive pore fluids typically drive rapid destruction …

Abstract In the Catalina Schist subduction-zone metamorphic complex (California), metasedimentary rocks show a decrease in N concentration and an increase in δ 15 N air …

Fluid pressure in the crust may be controlled by different mechanisms according to depth, temperature, and the mineralogy of the host rocks. Where rocks are fluid‐saturated, fluid …
Large volumes of greenhouse gases such as CH4 and CO2 form by contact metamorphism of organic-rich sediments in aureoles around sill intrusions in sedimentary basins …
Magnetotelluric and multichannel seismic reflection measurements indicate that the Phanerozoic lower continental crust is commonly electrically conductive and reflective, in …
Primary and pseudosecondary fluid inclusions occur in oscillatory-and sector-zoned omphacite in eclogitic veins from the Monviso ophiolitic complex in the Western Alps. The …
