At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

Progress in seismic methodology and ambitious large‐scale seismic projects are enabling
high‐resolution imaging of the continental crust. The ability to constrain interpretations of …

Microtectonics deals with the interpretation of microstructures, small-scale deformation
structures in rocks that yield abundant information on the history and type of deformation and …

Serpentinization is a key phenomenon for understanding the geodynamics of subduction
zones in the 10–200 km depth range. Serpentines are a major water carrier, and their …

Traditional inversion techniques applied to the problem of characterizing the thermal and
compositional structure of the upper mantle are not well suited to deal with the nonlinearity …

We use an anisotropic viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) model to simulate the
development of omphacite lattice preferred orientations (LPOs) in response to deformation …

We have investigated the rheology of hot-pressed polycrystalline omphacite (Di58Jd42,
space group C2/c) at strain rates of 10− 4–10− 5/s, temperatures of 1300–1500K and a …

Quartz crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) from three distinct orthogneisses using
both the Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) and Fabric Analyser (FA) techniques …

Eclogite plays an important role in mantle convection and geodynamics in subduction
zones. An improved understanding of processes in the deeper levels of subduction zones …

Beneath the Tibet plateau, the deficit of crustal thickening with respect to what is expected
from the plate tectonic constraints is thought to be absorbed either by lateral extrusion or by …
