Chemical geodynamics is an integrated discipline that studies the geochemical structure
and tectonic evolution of geospheres with the aim of linking tectonic processes to …

High-pressure low-temperature (HP–LT) metamorphic rocks provide invaluable constraints
on the evolution of convergent zones. Based on a worldwide compilation of key information …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Although the exhumation of high pressure (HP) and ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks is an
integral process in subduction, it is a transient process, likely taking place during the …

Thirty years of research, and especially the refinements of many geological, geochemical
and geophysical techniques, have uncovered many new facets of the geology of the …

Lithosphere delamination is believed to have played a major role in mountain building;
however, the mechanism and dynamics of delamination remain poorly understood. Using a …

A new dataset for the high-pressure to ultrahigh-pressure Western Gneiss Region allows the
definition of distinct structural and petrological domains. Much of the study area is an E …

Partial melting textures, observed in most continental crust buried in ultrahigh-pressure
(UHP) conditions, have mostly been related to their retrograde evolution during exhumation …

High-resolution seismic imaging has previously revealed sudden changes in the dip of
subducted oceanic plates. This 'kinking'feature is crucial because in many subduction zones …

Abstract The Western Alps are a classic subduction‐related collisional orogen with well‐
preserved, deeply subducted ophiolitic remnants of oceanic lithosphere. Some (eg Monviso …
