Porphyry copper formation driven by water-fluxed crustal melting during flat-slab subduction
The prevailing view of the formation of porphyry copper deposits along convergent plate
boundaries involves deep crustal differentiation of metal-bearing juvenile magmas derived …

Reassessing metamorphic core complexes in the North American Cordillera
Continental metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are widely distributed on Earth, primarily
exposed at convergent plate margins. These structural systems involve the exhumation of …

Thermochronological evidence of early orogenesis, eastern Pyrenees, France
In collisional orogens, distinguishing the thermal signature of early orogenesis from the
preceding rift or from subsequent thermal events is a major challenge. We present an …

Magmatism and extension in the Anaconda metamorphic core complex of western Montana and relation to regional tectonics
Metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are a product of crustal extension, but their dynamics
are still debated. Early research suggests that the formation of MCCs in the western United …
