Volume diffusion of Pb occurs over micron length scales in apatite and rutile at temperatures
relevant to the evolution of the middle and lower crust. Continuous thermal history …

Himalayan high-pressure metamorphic rocks are restricted to three environments: the suture
zone; close to the suture zone; and (mostly) far (> 100 km) from the suture zone. In the NW …

It is argued that the Grenville Province is a large hot long-duration orogen with a plateau in
the hinterland, remnants of which are preserved in the hangingwall of the Allochthon …

In order to understand how orogens “work,” a quantitative approach demonstrating proof of
concept is essential. Our goal is to reconcile the diverse array of tectonic features observed …

The Grenville Orogen in North America is interpreted to have resulted from collision between
Laurentia and another continent, probably Amazonia, at ca. 1100 Ma. The exposed segment …

In recent years, a rapidly expanding database, especially in sensitive high-resolution ion
microprobe (SHRIMP) geochronology, has led to significant advances in understanding of …

As the continental crust thickens during mountain building, it can become hot enough to start
melting, leading to a profound reduction in its strength. Melt-weakened crust can flow …

The Tibetan Plateau is the type example of a large orogenic plateau formed as a result of
continent‐continent collision. The morphology of the plateau and its margins suggests that …

We explore the importance of strain heating in ductile shear zones for production of
leucogranites and high‐temperature metamorphism in collisional orogens with temperature …

This paper provides a re-interpretation of the crustal architecture of the Ottawan hinterland of
the Grenville Province in light of published empirical and numerical models of orogenic …
