The compositional properties of garnet probably preserve the most extensive records of the
pressure-temperature-time (PTt) history of metamorphic rocks. There are a number of cation …

The Sanbagawa metamorphic belt in SW Japan has been traditionally referred as a typical
subduction-related high-pressure (HP) metamorphic belt. This belt extends E–W direction for …

Diffusion couples made from homogeneous gem quality natural pyrope and almandine
garnets were annealed within graphite capsules under anhydrous conditions at 22–40 kbar …

In this paper we present new U–Pb zircon ages determined with Sensitive High-Resolution
Ion MicroProbe (SHRIMP) for nine plutonic rocks or orthogneisses and one paragneiss from …

Abstract The High Himalayan Crystallines (HHCs) provide an excellent natural laboratory to
study processes related to crustal melting, crustal differentiation, and the tectonic evolution …

In continental arcs the extension of geothermal gradients derived from shallow crustal levels
to depth predicts widespread melting at pressures that are inconsistent with seismic studies …

Southwest Japan is divided into Outer and Inner Zones by the Median Tectonic Line (MTL),
a major transcurrent fault. The Outer Zone is composed of the Sambagawa (high‐pressure …

The Ryoke belt represents the root of a volcanic arc exposed across SW Japan. It records
successive deformation phases, high-temperature metamorphism, and several magmatic …

Elongate and deformed garnets from Glenelg, NW Scotland, occur within a thin shear zone
transecting an eclogite body that has undergone partial retrogression to amphibolite facies …

Diffusion is the process by which atoms or ions or ionic species migrate within a medium in
the absence of a bulk flow. Diffusion in solids has been a subject of interest in the fields of …
