Despite a long research history over the past 150 years, the geometry, kinematics, and
dynamic evolution of the Himalayan orogen remain poorly understood. This is mainly due to …

The transport of water from subducting crust into the mantle is mainly dictated by the stability
of hydrous minerals in subduction zones. The thermal structure of subduction zones is a key …

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 …

Both geochemical and experimental petrological research indicate that Archaean
continental crust was generated by partial melting of an Archaean tholeiite transformed into …

The name of “adakite” is used to describe a far too large group of rocks, whose sole common
feature is high Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios. However, such a signature can be achieved via …

Uplift of the surface of mountain belts requires forces that are comparable in magnitude to
those associated with plate motion, and therefore determination of rates of surface uplift …

The conditions under which partial melting of subducting oceanic crust occurs can be
determined by combining a partial melting model for basaltic compositions with two …

The maximum-pressure Psingle bondT conditions (P max–T) and prograde Psingle bondT
paths of exhumed subduction-related metamorphic rocks are compared to predictions of …

Crustal Heat Flow: A Guide to Measurement and Modelling is a handbook for geologists and
geophysicists who manipulate thermal data, particularly for petroleum exploration. In theory …

The role of the subducting lithospheric slab in the genesis of mantle-derived (primitive)
magmas is investigated through a study of volcanic rocks formed in the tectonically strike …
