PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS OF CONTINENTAL CRUST DURING SUBDUCTION AND EXHUMATION: WESTERN GNEISS REGION, NORWAY (2009)

This paper first presents Sm-Nd geochronology that dates garnet growth in quartzofeldspathic gneisses. Second, modeling of compositional zoning in garnet is used to constrain the pressures and temperatures of garnet growth. This paper finally discusses how this conclusion affects our understanding of the density of subducted crust, the global geochemical cycle and the rheology of continental crust.
