We review data and recent research on arc composition, focusing on the relatively complete
arc crustal sections in the Jurassic Talkeetna arc (south central Alaska) and the Cretaceous …

This paper summarizes some 30 years of more intense recent work and almost 100 years of
geological observations in Kohistan. The paper is divided into two section: an earlier factual …

In general, Archean rocks exhibit rather ordinary moderate-P-high-T facies series
metamorphism; neither blueschists nor any record of deep continental subduction and return …

High‐pressure granulites are characterised by the key associations garnet‐clinopyroxene‐
plagioclase‐quartz (in basic rocks) and kyanite‐K‐feldspar (metapelites and felsic rocks) …

The intraoceanic Kohistan arc, northern Pakistan, exposes a complete crustal section
composed of infracrustal basal cumulates formed at≤ 55km depth, a broadly …

We summarize petrological and seismic constraints on the temperature of arc lower crust
and shallow mantle, and show that published thermal models are inconsistent with these …

Results of simple model calculations that integrate cumulate compositions from the Kohistan
arc terrain are presented in order to develop a consistent petrogenetic model to explain the …

Delamination and foundering of the lower continental crust (LCC) into the mantle is part of
the crust-forming mechanism. However, knowledge of the composition and mineralogy of …

The Nyingchi complex, forming the eastern segment of the Gangdese magmatic arc, occurs
within the southern Lhasa terrane in south Tibet, and is composed dominantly of plutons and …

We report the results of a geochemical study of the Jijal and Sarangar complexes, which
constitute the lower crust of the Mesozoic Kohistan paleo-island arc (Northern Pakistan). The …
