We present the first comprehensive PT-deformation-time and kinematic constraints for
HP/UHP eclogite, blueschist and greenschist-facies metavolcano-sedimentary rocks …

Recently, a huge ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt of oceanic type has been
recognized in SW Tianshan, China. Petrological studies show that the UHP metamorphic …

The zirconium-in-rutile thermometer enjoys widespread use, but confidence in its accuracy
is limited because experiments were conducted at higher temperatures than many rutile …

We present a compilation of published data (field, petrography, ages and geochemistry)
from 73 ophiolitic complexes of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The ophiolitic complexes …

Subduction‐related dehydration and exhumation‐related rehydration play an important role
in water recycling on Earth. Water can be transported to the deep mantle through crustal …

Eclogites and granulites are fossil records of orogenies and provide crucial evidence of
geodynamic processes. Incomplete knowledge on both hampers the establishment of …

The tectonic affinity and structural evolution of the South Tianshan are key issues to
understand the Paleozoic accretionary or collisional orogenesis in the southwestern Central …

Recognition of extensional events during orogenesis is critical for the reconstruction of
geodynamic evolution of orogens, but is also a challenge due to multi-stage tectonic …

Exhumed high-pressure rocks formed during subduction provide insight into global
geodynamic and plate tectonic processes. Their metamorphic history is partially encoded in …

Abstract Models concerning the diffusion of divalent cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+)
in garnet have been subject to extensive research and application over several decades, yet …
