Detailed observations of pseudotachylyte, eclogite, and fracturing in eclogites from Holsy Island, Western Norway

open access: yes, 2000
Fieldwork conducted in the summer of 1998 on Holsnoy Island, western Norway, resulted in the discovery of 47 new outcrop locations which bear eclogite facies pseudotachylytes.

METAMORPHIC CONSEQUENCES OF CRUSTAL ECLOGITE PRODUCTION IN OVERTHRUST OROGENIC ZONES

open access: yes, 2016
Continental collision can produce crust of much greater than normal thickness in whose lower part eclogite facies conditions may pertain. The resulting density increase of ca.

Tectonics on Early Earth Driven by Earth's Changing Shape During Tidal Recession of the Moon

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Few fragments of Earth's earliest crust have survived, and so this formative period of our planet's history is shrouded in mystery. To leverage the limited data available, it is important to understand all the processes that could have shaped our young planet.

Constraints on the Dehydration Systematics of Subducted Oceanic Crust Across the Blueschist‐to‐Eclogite Facies Transition (Eclogite Zone, Eastern Alps)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Mafic eclogites of the Tauern Window in the Eastern Alps preserve vein networks associated with eclogite‐facies mineral assemblages. The structural and mineralogical diversity of these veins is encapsulated by Type I veins, which resemble deformed ...

Geochemistry of eclogite- and blueschist-facies rocks from the Bantimala Complex, South Sulawesi, Indonesia: Protolith origin and tectonic setting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present the first data on bulk-rock major and trace element compositions for\ud a suite of eclogite- and blueschist-facies rocks from the Bantimala Complex, Indonesia,\ud with the aim of better constraining the protolith origins and nature of the ...

Melt Production and Volatile Release From Thermochemical Mantle Plumes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Mantle plumes are thought to generate Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs), the largest outpourings of lava in the geologic record, which are associated with long‐lasting climatic warming events and mass extinctions. However, the controls on mantle degassing by plumes remain poorly constrained.

Tracing Orogenic Evolution From Multi‐Detrital Mineral Records: U‐Pb Geochronology and Trace‐Element Constraints From Glacial Diamictites

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Integrating multiple detrital mineral systems provides a powerful framework for reconstructing source‐region tectonothermal evolution because different minerals record complementary aspects of magmatic and metamorphic processes. Glacial diamictites are particularly valuable for this approach because extensive glacial erosion can sample broad ...

Mantle plumes and flood basalts: Enhanced melting from plume ascent and an eclogite component [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
New numerical models of starting plumes reproduce the observed volumes and rates of flood basalt eruptions, even for a plume of moderate temperature arriving under thick lithosphere.

Geology of the southern Monviso metaophiolite complex (W-Alps, Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2019
The Monviso metaophiolite complex (W. Alps) is an almost intact fragment of Tethyan oceanic lithosphere metamorphosed to eclogite-facies peak metamorphic conditions during Alpine subduction.
