Retrograde eclogites (ranging from unaltered eclogite to retrograde blueschist and greenschist mantling the eclogite boulders) from Ring Mountain on the Tiburon Peninsula, near San Francisco, California, were examined for whole-rock major and trace ...

This paper is about the depths and temperatures to which continental crust can be subducted and exhumed.

This study addresses two important issues regarding the formation and exhumation of the UHP rocks in the WGR: (i) the size, shape, and structure of the UHP terrane and (ii) the structural and petrological relationship between the UHP rocks and overlying allochthonous ...

This paper is about the Solund-Hyllestad-Lavik area that affords an excellent opportunity to understand the ultrahigh-pressure Scandian orogeny because it contains a near-complete record of ophiolite emplacement, high-pressure metamorphism and large-scale ...

The understanding of the subduction-related processes benefited by the studies of the high-pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks from the western Alps. The most stimulating information was obtained from the inner part of the western Alpine belt, where most tectonic ...
