The Earth as a planetary system has experienced significant change since its formation c.
4.54 Gyr ago. Some of these changes have been gradual, such as secular cooling of the …

Lawsonite is an abundant hydrous mineral in oceanic crust, sediments, and metasomatic
rocks at depths of~ 45 to 300 km in most subduction zones, but it is rarely preserved in the …

Recent findings of diamonds in ophiolitic peridotites and chromitites challenge our
traditional notion of Earth mantle dynamics. Models attempting to explain these findings …

The causes of Cenozoic uplift of the Colorado Plateau, southwestern USA, are strongly
debated, though most hypotheses acknowledge the importance of northwest-directed …

Continental subduction and collision are recorded by ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) terranes;
UHP terranes that form at early stages of an orogeny tend to be small and experience short …

Eclogite thermobarometry is crucial for constraining the depths and temperatures to which
oceanic and continental crust subduct. However, obtaining the pressure and temperature (P …

The Pakistan part of the Himalaya has major differences in tectonic evolution compared with
the main Himalayan range to the east of the Nanga Parbat syntaxis. There is no equivalent …

Thermodynamic modeling is an important technique to simulate the evolution of
metamorphic rocks, particularly the poorly preserved prograde metamorphic reactions. The …

Eclogites in the Acatlán Complex, southern Mexico, record the subduction history of the
complex. Previous studies indicate that the proto-Acatlán Complex reached< 50 km depth …

Abstract The Yelapa-Chimo Metamorphic Complex forms part of the Jalisco Block in western
Mexico and exposes a wide range of Early Cretaceous metamorphic rocks; such as …
