Abstract Seismogenic faults shape continental landscapes, drive crustal deformation and influence fluid exchange between the lithosphere and atmosphere. Yet, quantitative links between fault activity, exhumation and near‐surface environmental evolution remain poorly understood. Here, structural (meso‐ and micro‐scale) investigations are integrated with

Abstract The soles of ophiolites preserve slices of oceanic crust metamorphosed to amphibolite‐ to granulite‐facies conditions beneath heavily deformed mantle peridotites, providing key records of fluid and mass transfer across nascent subduction interfaces.

Abstract Whether the Songduo metamorphic belt represents an in situ Paleo‐Tethyan suture within the Lhasa Terrane or far‐traveled allochthonous high‐pressure slices, and how Permian mantle activity along the North Gondwana margin relates to subsequent Tethyan evolution, remain central questions in Tibetan tectonics.

Apatite as a Proxy for Reconstructing Magma Mixing Histories in Granitoids
Abstract Apatite is a common accessory mineral in granites and mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs), and its textural and compositional characteristics can record dynamic magmatic evolution processes. Apatites from the Early Cretaceous Sanguliu granite and its MMEs in the Liaodong Peninsula exhibit pronounced compositional heterogeneities. In this study,

Fluids in subduction zones can have major effects on subduction dynamics. However, geophysical constraints on the scale and impact of fluid flow during continental subduction are still limited.

Earthquakes and the Metamorphic Sole of the Tinos Ophiolite, Cyclades, Greece
Abstract We analyze deformation fabrics, compositions of melts, metamorphic temperatures, and paleopiezometric data beneath the Tsiknias Thrust, Tinos, Greece, which formed part of the plate boundary that, in Late‐Cretaceous time, absorbed convergence between Africa and Europe associated with final closure of the Vardar Ocean.

Abstract The rarity of natural rocks that specifically record the physicochemical conditions of the subduction interface strongly hampers pertinent studies on metamorphic trajectories of high‐pressure (HP) rocks and related fluid–rock interactions. This study examines an oceanic eclogite block from the Huwan shear zone in the Hong'an orogen.

Abstract Distributed basaltic volcanic fields commonly host minor but significant silicic magmas, the origin of which remains debated. At Harrat Khaybar (western Saudi Arabia; ca. 1.7 Ma to present), volcanic activity erupted compositions range from alkali olivine basalt to trachyte and comendite.

Abstract The northern extent of Greater India is a critical, yet highly debated, parameter for reconstructing the India‐Asia collision. Previous paleomagnetic estimates, including the fill‐the‐gap and fixed great circle approaches, yield widely varying results, spanning from ∼200 to ∼3,000 km. These large discrepancies stem principally from two primary

Abstract The nature of mantle sections exhumed at magma‐poor rifted margins remains poorly constrained, largely because direct sampling of mantle in modern passive margins is exceptionally rare. The Iberia–Newfoundland system is unique in providing drilled mantle rocks on both conjugate margins, offering an unprecedented glimpse into mantle ...
