The plate tectonic history of the Junction Region, which separated the Panthalassa and
Tethys realms, is notoriously challenging to reconstruct. The region has been dominated by …

All normal-fault systems must terminate both along and orthogonal to strike. As many as four
terminations may be associated with a single culmination. Most normalfault systems …

As lithospheric plates are subducted, rocks are metamorphosed under high-pressure and
ultrahigh-pressure conditions to produce eclogites and eclogite facies metamorphic rocks …

In this paper, Late Miocene blueschist and eclogite belts, including the world's youngest
blueschist belt in Timor–Tanimbar Island chain, eastern Indonesia, and the world's youngest …

Since the first discovery of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks 30 years ago in the Western Alps,
the mechanisms for exhumation of (U) HP terranes worldwide are still debated. In the …

The Woodlark Rift in Papua New Guinea hosts the world's youngest (2–8Ma) eclogite-facies
rocks and extensional deformation has played a key role in exhuming these (U) HP rocks at …

Exhumation of high-pressure rocks has long remained a controversial issue in the Earth
sciences. In this article, we analyze the tectono-metamorphic, stratigraphic and plate-motion …

Earthquakes in the Woodlark‐D'Entrecasteaux rift system reveal changes in fault geometry
along strike, as extension progresses from continental to oceanic modes. In one segment …

Abstract The Woodlark Rift of southeastern Papua New Guinea is among the fastest
evolving plate boundaries on Earth. Rapid extension led to formation of metamorphic core …

The Barberton greenstone belt in South Africa is an Early-to Mid-Archaean, very low-grade
metamorphic supracrustal belt that is bordered in the south by a mid-to lower crustal gneiss …
