Disequilibrium metamorphism of stressed lithosphere
© 2015 Elsevier B.V. Most changes in mineralogy, density, and rheology of the Earth's lithosphere take place by metamorphism, whereby rocks evolve through interactions between minerals and fluids.

Metamorphism and Metamorphic Belts
The metamorphic facies series in regional metamorphism may be classified into the following categories according to an order of increasing rock pressure:((1) andalusite-sillimanite type, (2) low-pressure intermediate group, (3) kyanite-sillimanite type, (

PETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF METASEDIMENTS FROM BUGAJI, PART OF MALUMFASHI SHEET 79 NE, KANO STATE, NORTHWESTERN NIGERIA [PDF]
This research is aimed at determining the protolith of metasediments that underpin the geology of Bugaji region of Kano State. The study area was mapped systematically and the lithologies encountered include phyllite, undifferentiated schist, quartzo ...

The sedimentary record of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism: a perspective review [PDF]
Tracing ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism of crustal rocks through the geological record is a key for understanding the evolution of plate tectonics on Earth due to the linkage with deep subduction processes.

Fluid-induced metamorphism and anatexis of refractory Ni-Co-Cu sulphides in subduction-related rocks [PDF]
The role of metamorphism on refractory sulfides is not well constrained. Although experiments have displayed the effectiveness of high grade metamorphism, namely granulite facies metamorphism, on sulfide anatexis, its role in the presence of other ...

Iron quartzites of the Simandou mountain (Republic of Guinea)
In this article, we for the first time fully describe the geology and petrography of the iron quartzite formation, localized in Southeast Guinea in the Simandou mountain range. In this region, a meridional distribution belt of banded magnetite quartzites

Transformation of the oceanic crust into the continental one in orogenic belts is an important problem in petrological studies. In the paleocontinental sector of the Urals, a key object for tracing the stages of metamorphism and investigating the origin ...

Detailed studies of the deeply metamorphosed Early Precambrian rocks of the Northern Ladoga region allowed us to distinguish three deformation stages of the Svecofennian tectogenesis during which there occurred significant structural and compositional ...

The Archean metamorphism in the southwestern Siberian craton was confirmed by the studies of the Kitoy and Irkutsk blocks. However, the parameters of the metamorphism process are still poorly investigated.

Metamorphic testing of OpenStreetMap [PDF]
OpenStreetMap represents a collaborative effort of many different and unrelated users to create a free map of the world. Although contributors follow some general guidelines, unsupervised additions are prone to include erroneous information. Unfortunately, it is impossible to automatically detect most of these issues because there does not exist an ...
