Chemical geodynamics is an integrated discipline that studies the geochemical structure
and tectonic evolution of geospheres with the aim of linking tectonic processes to …

Zircon geochronology and geochemistry are increasingly important for understanding
metamorphic processes, particularly at extreme conditions, but drivers of zircon dissolution …

Chemically zoned garnet growth and coeval modification of this zoning through diffusion are
calculated during prograde metamorphic heating to temperatures of up to 850° C. This …

Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an
accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and …

Tectonic models for the Oligocene–Miocene development of the Himalaya mountain range
are largely focused on crustal-scale processes, and developed along orogen-perpendicular …

Garnet is one of the most robust and ubiquitous minerals that record element zoning during
crustal metamorphism. In addition to major elements, zoning in trace elements can provide a …

Recent advances in laser ablation reaction-cell mass spectrometry have opened the
possibility for rapid and efficient Lu-Hf age dating of a variety of minerals. Of particular …

To investigate the systematics of the 176 Lu–176 Hf and 147 Sm–143 Nd garnet
chronometers, we performed REE and isotope analyses on garnet crystals of different size …

Garnet's potential as a chronometer of tectonometamorphic processes and conditions was
first recognized over 30 years ago. The Sm–Nd and Lu–Hf systems have since emerged as …

Numerical simulation of the evolution of stranded diffusion profiles in partially resorbed
garnet crystals from the aureole of the Makhavinekh Lake Pluton, Labrador, yields …
