Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The study of subduction-related high-pressure-and ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks
exposed in orogenic belts is critical for unraveling the tectonothermal evolution of an orogen …

Rock rheology and density have first‐order effects on the lithosphere's response to plate
tectonic forces at plate boundaries. Changes in these rock properties are controlled by …

Fluid–rock interaction has profound effects on the dynamics of the lithosphere. This
Perspectives article describes the catalytic effects of water on the kinetics of mineral …

When bent at subduction zones, oceanic plates are damaged by normal faulting, and this
bending-related faulting is widely believed to cause deep mantle hydration, down to∼ 20 …

The fracturing properties and acoustic characteristics of heterogeneous and matrix-inclusion
rocks are crucial to the safety of underground infrastructures and mining projects under …

Recent work on mineral reactions and microstructures in metamorphic rocks has focused on
forward modelling of phase equilibria and on their description through chemical potential …

Pressure–temperature–time paths obtained from minerals in metamorphic rocks allow the
reconstruction of the geodynamic evolution of mountain ranges under the assumption that …

Stress affects chemical processes on all scales in the Earth but the magnitude of its effect is
debated. Here, I give a new synthesis of the theory that describes the effects of stress on …

Studies of mineral equilibria in metamorphic rocks have given valuable insights into the
tectonic processes operating at convergent plate margins during an orogeny. Geodynamic …
