Ultrahigh thermal gradient granulites in the Narryer Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, provide a window into the composition and formation of Archean lower crust

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 425-470, May 2024.
Abstract Granulites from the Narryer Terrane in the northern Yilgarn Craton, Australia, record evidence for high to ultrahigh thermal gradients during the Meso–Neoarchean. U–Pb zircon ages reflect a complex history of high‐grade, prolonged and poly‐phase metamorphism, with evidence for several thermal pulses at ca. 2745–2725, ca.

An Iapetus origin for a layered eclogite complex in the northern Western Gneiss Region, Scandinavian Caledonides

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 319-354, April 2024.
Abstract The Western Gneiss Region (WGR) is a Precambrian basement domain in the Scandinavian Caledonides and one of the world's largest high‐ and ultrahigh‐pressure terranes. The south–central WGR underwent regional eclogite facies metamorphism 415–400 Ma ago when Baltica subducted beneath Laurentia, during the Scandian orogeny.

Paleoarchean metamorphism in the Acasta Gneiss Complex: Constraints from phase equilibrium modelling and in situ garnet Lu–Hf geochronology

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 373-394, April 2024.
Abstract The oldest known evolved (felsic) rocks on Earth (c. 4.03 Ga) are found in the Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) in north‐western Canada and represent a fundamental keystone in unravelling the geological processes governing crustal growth and differentiation during the Hadean and early Archean.

Disruption of a high‐pressure unit during exhumation: Example of the Cycladic Blueschist unit (Thera, Ios and Naxos islands, Greece)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 225-255, February 2024.
Abstract Reconstructing the original geometry of a high‐pressure tectonic unit is challenging but important to understand the mechanisms of mountain building. While a single nappe is subducted and exhumed, nappe‐internal thrusts may disrupt it into several subunits.

Mineralogy and geochemistry of pegmatites rich in REE, F and alkali metals associated with albite granite facies in the deposit of Sn-Nb-Ta- (F, REE, U, Th) Madeira (Pitinga mine, AM, Brazil)

open access: yesPesquisas em Geociências, 2018
According to the literature, the pegmatites of Madeira granite, located in the mining district of Pitinga (Amazonas, Brazil), belong to the albite granite facies. Previous studies have proposed that these pegmatitic bodies are associated with N320/60SW oriented faults and are rich in rare earth elements (REE). Due to this, the characterization of these
