This paper is about the kinematic, kinematic vorticity (Wm), and deformation temperature analyses that were completed to test the hypothesis that midcrustal rocks exposed in the core of the Kangmar gneiss dome, southern Tibet record ductile deformation patterns ...

New detailed microscopic kinematic analyses, deformation temperature estimates, and vorticity analyses within mid-crustal rocks from Mabja Dome show a downward progression from mixedtop-N and top-S shear in chloritoid-zone rocks, through dominantly top-S shear ...
