Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme form of regional
crustal metamorphism, with temperatures exceeding 900° C. UHT crustal metamorphism is …

The initial (200–175Ma) breakup of Pangea was marked by the emplacement of the Large
Igneous Provinces (LIPs) of Karoo–Ferrar-SE Australia (KFS) in the back-arc of …

Using the U-Pb geochronology of zircon we can understand the growth and collapse of
mountain chains, both recent and ancient. In the high-temperature metamorphic rocks that …

The Tarim Block is an important tectonic unit to understand the Proterozoic tectonic
framework of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and the supercontinent Rodinia. The granitic …

U–Pb geochronology and Lu–Hf isotopic studies on detrital zircons from late Neoproterozoic
sediments of the Cathaysia block, South China, show abundant Grenville-age (∼ 1.0 Ga) …

Integrated textural and chemical characterisation of zircon is used to refine the U–Pb
geochronology of the Archaean, ultra-high temperature Napier Complex, east Antarctica …

The duration of granulite (G) and ultra–high temperature (UHT) conditions in regional
metamorphism is critical to arguments regarding the tectonic settings of granulites and their …

Pan-Gondwanaland (650–500 Ma) tectonics is dominated by transcurrent motions driven by
post-collisional oblique stresses. Extension is commonly marked by the intrusion of alkaline …

Eight Re–Os ages from six molybdenite samples representative of the Cu–Mo–Au
mineralization at the giant Malanjkhand deposit in Madhya Pradesh were obtained using ID …

Abstract The East Antarctic Shield consists of a variety of Archaean and Proterozoic-
Cambrian high-grade terranes that have distinct crustal histories and were amalgamated at …
