Boron isotope record of peak metamorphic ultrahigh-pressure and retrograde fluid–rock interaction in white mica (Lago di Cignana, Western Alps) [PDF]
This study presents boron (B) concentration and isotope data for white mica from (ultra)high-pressure (UHP), subduction-related metamorphic rocks from Lago di Cignana (Western Alps, Italy).

Shear heating reconciles thermal models with the metamorphic rock record of subduction. [PDF]
Significance Thermal structure controls numerous aspects of subduction zone metamorphism, rheology, and melting. Many thermal models assume small or negligible coefficients of friction and underpredict pressure–temperature (P–T) conditions recorded by ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Preservation of high‐P rocks coupled to rock composition and the absence of metamorphic fluids [PDF]
Eclogites, blueschists and greenschists are found in close proximity to one another along a 1‐km coastal section where the Cyclades Blueschist Unit (CBU) is exposed on SE Syros, Greece.

Comparison of laboratory, in situ, and rock mass measurements of the hydraulic conductivity of metamorphic rock at the Savannah River Plant near Aiken, South Carolina [PDF]
In situ testing of exploratory wells in metamorphic rock indicates that two types of fracturing occur in the rock mass. Rock containing small openings that permit only extremely slow movement of water is termed virtually impermeable rock. Rock containing

Geology of the Montigiu Nieddu metamorphic basement, NE Sardinia (Italy)
A geological map at 1:10,000 scale is presented that shows the distribution of the metamorphic rock units in the area of Montigiu (Mt.) Nieddu (NE Sardinia). These units belong to the High-Grade Metamorphic Complex in the Inner Zone of the Variscan chain

Description and Dynamic Analyses of the 1935 Luchedu Rock Avalanche in Sichuan, China
The Luchedu rock avalanche (LRA) that occurred in 1935 at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan in Southwest China is a disaster chain of the rock slide, debris avalanche, and river blocking induced by heavy rainfall.
