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

Water is a key ingredient in the generation of magmas in subduction zones. This review
focuses on the role of water in the generation of magmas in the mantle wedge, the factors …

Abstract The Cenozoic Himalaya-Tibet orogen is generally regarded as the archetypal
continental collision zone and is often used as an analogue for interpreting ancient orogenic …

Crust extracted from the mantle in arcs is refined into continental crust in subduction zones.
During sediment subduction, subduction erosion, arc subduction, and continent subduction …

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 …

In this paper, we show with examples that cratons involved in intercontinental collisions in a
lower plate position are often affected by orogenic events, leading to the transformation of …

There are differences in the style of collisional orogens between the Phanerozoic and the
Precambrian, most notably the appearance of blueschists and ultrahigh pressure …

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 …

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 …

The tectonics, dynamics, and biogeographic landscape of the early Paleozoic were
dominated by the opening and expansion of one large ocean—the Rheic—and the …
