Glimmerite: A product of melt-rock interaction within a crustal-scale high-strain zone
The paradigm for hydrous high-strain zones that cut dry host rocks is for fluid-rock interaction
to have involved aqueous fluids. However, the role of silicate melt is increasingly …

The recognition of former melt flux through high‐strain zones
High‐strain zones are potential pathways of melt migration through the crust. However, the
identification of melt‐present high‐strain deformation is commonly limited to cases where …

Local partial melting of the lower crust triggered by hydration through melt–rock interaction: an example from Fiordland, New Zealand
We investigate a low‐strain outcrop of the lower crust, the Pembroke Granulite, exposed in
northern Fiordland, New Zealand, which exhibits localized partial melting. Migmatite and …

Mass transfer in the lower crust: Evidence for incipient melt assisted flow along grain boundaries in the deep arc granulites of F iordland, N ew Z ealand
Abstract Knowledge of mass transfer is critical in improving our understanding of crustal
evolution, however mass transfer mechanisms are debated, especially in arc environments …
