The study of magmatic and metamorphic processes is challenged by geological
complexities like geochemical variations, geochronological uncertainties and the …

Although the capacity for water to lower the solidus during crustal melting is well recognised,
a modern consensus is that most granitic magmas are generated under fluid-absent melting …

The origin of peralkaline granitic rocks with higher concentrations of alkali than Al 2 O 3 (with
molar (Na+ K)/Al> 1.0) is still debated. The debate focuses on whether they result from …

Comprehensive zircon thermometry that takes into account zircon saturation temperatures,
Ti-in-zircon measurements, and zircon morphologies and microstructures can provide key …

The diverse fluid regimes during melting of the metasedimentary crust have been often
discriminated on the basis of the composition of anatectic granitoids, with granites indicating …

The tectonic regimes that drove the 1560–1490 Ma granitic magmatism c. 50 m. yr. after the
final assembly of the Proterozoic supercontinent Nuna in NE Australia remain elusive …

Traditional low-temperature thermochronology techniques such as apatite fission track (AFT)
and apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He (AHe) have so far produced limited information on the neotectonic …

Understanding the stabilization of cratons and how this is related to the onset of plate-
tectonics is among the most important questions in geoscience. The assembly of Earth's first …

The geodynamic regimes that operated during the Mesoproterozoic amalgamation of the
first supercontinent on Earth, Nuna, remain poorly understood. Palaeogeographic Nuna …

Mineralization along continental suture zones is facilitated through the frequent presence of
pathways from fertile mantle source regions to crustal repositories. Due to their inherent …
