The mineral zircon is extremely variable both in terms of external morphology and internal
textures. These features reflect the geologic history of the mineral, especially the relevant …

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

With the aim to link zircon composition with paragenesis and thus metamorphic conditions,
zircons from eclogite-and granulite-facies rocks were analysed for trace elements using LA …

A new reconstruction of Alpine Tethys combines plate-kinematic modelling with a wealth of
geological data and seismic tomography to shed light on its evolution, from sea-floor …

Zircon U-Pb dating is the most commonly used method for isotopic geochronology.
However, it has been a difficult issue when relating zircon U-Pb ages to metamorphic …

The first report on cathodoluminescence (CL) of zircon goes back to the second half of the
nineteenth century (Crookes 1879), however, only in the last 40 years has this phenomenon …

Zircon and monazite from granulite-to amphibolite-facies rocks of the Vosges mountains
(central Variscan Belt, eastern France) were dated by ion-microprobe and conventional U …

The Heilongjiang Complex is a sequence of high-pressure metamorphic rocks, located
along the suture zone that separates the Jiamusi–Khanka (–Bureya) and Songliao …

Partial melting at continental lithosphere depths plays an important role in generating
geochemical variations in igneous rocks. In particular, dehydration melting of ultrahigh …

High-pressure low-temperature (HP–LT) metamorphic rocks provide invaluable constraints
on the evolution of convergent zones. Based on a worldwide compilation of key information …
