The formation of collisional orogens is a prominent feature in convergent plate margins. It is
generally a complex process involving multistage tectonism of compression and extension …

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

Laser-ablation split-stream (LASS) analysis—high-speed, high spatial-resolution,
simultaneous isotopic and elemental analysis—enables petrochronology at a new level …

Titanite (CaTiSiO5) is a common mineral in calc-silicates, metamorphosed igneous rocks,
and calc-alkaline plutons. The mineral was first named by Martin Klaproth in 1795 for its high …

Lusingle bond Hf geochronology is a powerful method to constrain the temporal evolution of
geological systems. Traditional application of this dating method requires time-consuming …

Crustal subduction and continental collision is the core of plate tectonics theory.
Understanding the formation and evolution of continental collision orogens is a key to …

Zircon geochronology and geochemistry are increasingly important for understanding
metamorphic processes, particularly at extreme conditions, but drivers of zircon dissolution …

U–Pb dates of titanite from> 150 samples of chiefly quartzofeldspathic gneiss and
leucosomes were measured across the Western Gneiss Region of Norway to understand …

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 …
