During the Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic the two continents of Baltica and Laurentia
witnessed the break-up of one supercontinent, Rodinia, and the formation of another, but …

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 …

We present a new model to explain one of the biggest tectonic problems of Earth Sciences
today, namely, how and why did the Archean sub-continental lithospheric mantle under the …

Deep-seated metamorphic rocks are commonly found in the interior of many divergent and
convergent orogens. Plate tectonics can account for high-pressure metamorphism by …

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 …

New single zircon SHRIMP U–Pb dating of paragneiss and garnet-bearing granite from the
Mashan Complex in the Jiamusi Massif at Sandaogou and Xi Mashan, Heilongjiang …

Using the peri-Mediterranean blueschist belts as a case study we discuss the mechanisms
of syn-orogenic exhumation of high-pressure (HP) and ultra-highpressure (UHP) rocks. The …

The oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates deposited in the northern Altiplano
demonstrate a rapid change in late Miocene time, which we attribute to an increase in …

Detailed structural geological and related studies were carried out in a number of critical
areas in the Proterozoic basement of eastern Egypt to resolve the structural pattern at a …

Abstract The North Atlantic, extending from the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north
Norway-Greenland-Svalbard margins, is regarded as both a classic case of structural …
