Late Svecofennian leucogranites of southern Finland : Chronicles of an orogenic collapse [PDF]
Leucogranite magmatism occurred in southern Finland during the later stages of the Paleoproterozoic Svecofennian orogeny. The leucogranites are considered to have formed from pre-existing crustal rocks that have undergone anatexis in the extensional ...

Abstract The overriding plate commonly accumulates less strain than the subducted plate during continental collision. Analyzing plate interactions from the perspective of the overriding plate provides important insights into orogenic dynamics. In the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, the Wuliangshan massif, as a key region of the overriding plate, records ...

Granitoids of the Ekecikdağ Igneous Association (Central Anatolia/Turkey) are products of collisional–post-collisional magmatism in the Ekecikdağ area. These granitoids are granodiorite, microgranite and leucogranite.

In large igneous provinces (LIP) of fold areas, granitoid rocks are dominant, while mantle-derivated rocks play a subordinate role in rock formation. If magma emissions are impulsive, it may take 25–30 million years for a LIP to form and take shape.

Magma viscosity is strongly temperature-dependent. When hot magma flows in a conduit, heat is lost through the walls and the temperature decreases along the flow causing a viscosity increase. For particular values of the controlling parameters the steady-

Lithospheric Unzipping Explaining Hot Orogenesis During Continental Subduction
Abstract Phanerozoic accretionary orogens typically contain upper crustal nappes derived from subducted lithosphere—oceanic or continental—that display (ultra‐)high‐pressure, low‐temperature ((U)HP‐LT) metamorphism. Surprisingly, such orogens often also contain coeval continent‐derived nappes that underwent “Barrovian” (MP‐HT) syn‐burial metamorphism ...

Structure of late Variscan Millevaches leucogranite massif in the French Massif Central: AMS and gravity modelling results [PDF]
In the Limousin area, Variscan leucogranitic plutons are spatially associated with normal faults and major strike-slip shear zones that are a continuation of the South Armorican shear zone. Our study focuses on the large N-S-trending Millevaches granitic

Abstract The INDEPTH‐I seismic reflection transect provides a unique data set for understanding active mountain‐building processes during continental collision in the Himalaya and has played a key role in the development of ductile extrusion and channel flow concepts.

Spatial variation in exhumation rates across Ladakh and the Karakoram: New apatite fission track data from the Eastern Karakoram, NW India [PDF]
Characterization of low-temperature cooling histories and associated exhumation rates is critical for deciphering the recent evolution of orogenic regions. However, these may vary significantly over relatively short distances within orogens.
