Contrasting styles of (U) HP rock exhumation along the Cenozoic Adria‐Europe plate boundary (Western Alps, Calabria, Corsica)
Since the first discovery of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks 30 years ago in the Western Alps,
the mechanisms for exhumation of (U) HP terranes worldwide are still debated. In the …
