Metamorphic core complexes: Windows into the mechanics and rheology of the crust
Metamorphic core complexes are products of normal-fault displacements sufficient to
exhume rocks from below the brittle–ductile transition. These faults (detachments) may …

Ultramafic-hosted volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits: an overlooked sub-class of VMS deposit forming in complex tectonic environments
Ongoing seafloor exploration highlights that ultramafic-hosted seafloor massive sulfide
deposits (UM-SMS) are ubiquitous along slow to ultra-slow spreading ridges. These …
