Gneissoid granites were traditionally thought to be the components of the Precambrian
basement in the eastern South China Block, but twenty-four gneissoid granite samples from …

Understanding the geochemical characteristics of metamorphic zircon, and how they may be
modified by recrystallization processes, is fundamental to defining the timescales of tectonic …

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 …

Crustal anatexis is an important process in the tectonic evolution of many orogenic systems.
In the Wuyi-Yunkai orogen in the South China block, the duration of partial melting and its …

Previous geochronological analyses of high pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks in the
western Grenville Province, Ontario, Canada have yielded precise U–Pb zircon ages; …

Shear zones have different rheological properties than the surrounding rocks, indicating that
the bulk strength of regions containing shear zone networks cannot be determined by …

The Kiosk domain is a thrust sheet within a multi-component Grenvillian thrust stack, the
polycyclic (evidence for pre-Grenvillian orogeny present) Bonfield-Kiosk–Algonquin stack …

Shear zone kinematics are interpreted from sections (XZ) parallel to the stretching lineation
(X-direction) and perpendicular to the mylonitic foliation (X–Y). The stretching lineation is a …

Abstract The International Lithosphere Project deep reflection seismic survey in the
Norwegian sector of the North Sea has been reprocessed, particularly focusing on the deep …

The strength of a polyphase aggregate comprising power-law materials is a function of the
constitutive laws of the phases present, the arrangement of those phases and environmental …
