Exhumation of eclogite and blueschist (Cyclades, Greece): Pressure–temperature evolution determined by thermobarometry and garnet equilibrium modelling
High‐P rocks such as eclogite and blueschist are metamorphic markers of palaeo‐
subduction zones, and their formation at high‐P and low‐T (HP–LT) conditions is relatively …

Isotopic compositions of sulfides in exhumed high‐pressure terranes: implications for sulfur cycling in subduction zones
JB Walters, AM Cruz‐Uribe… - Geochemistry …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Subduction is a key component of Earth's long‐term sulfur cycle; however, the mechanisms
that drive sulfur from subducting slabs remain elusive. Isotopes are a sensitive indicator of …
