Discovery of coesite, diamond, and extreme 18O-depletion in eclogites from the Dabie–Sulu
orogen in central-east China has contributed much to our understanding of subduction of …

The lower plate is the dominant agent in modern convergent margins characterized by
active subduction, as negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere …

Newly recognized occurrences of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) minerals including diamonds in
ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) felsic granulites of orogenic belts, in chromitites associated with …

There is no consensus on the processes responsible for near-coeval formation of Archaean
continental crust (dominantly tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite: TTG), greenstone belts …

Geothermics is an area of geophysics that studies the thermal state and history of the interior
of the Earth. Solar heat penetrates only into the topmost layers of the Earth's crust. Diurnal …

Mantle-derived garnets recovered in diamond exploration programs show compositional
variations in Cr, Ca, Mg, Fe and Ti that reflect the chemical, physical and lithological …

We present melt and mineral compositions from nominally anhydrous partial melting
experiments at 2–3 GPa on a quartz eclogite composition (G2) similar to average oceanic …

Geothermometry of eclogites and other high pressure (HP)/ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) rocks
has been a challenge, due to severe problems related to the reliability of the garnet …

Eclogites from the Earth's mantle found in kimberlites provide important information on
craton formation and ancient geodynamic processes because such eclogites are mostly …

Melting experiments on a Fe-rich carbonate-saturated pelite were performed at 850–1300°
C and 2.5–5.0 GPa to define melting relations, melt compositions, and the conditions under …
