Sequential Wedge Extrusion to Core Complex Extension: The Central Cycladic Detachment System on Syros, Greece

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Syros island preserves pristine high‐pressure metamorphic rocks and provides invaluable insight into subduction zone processes. Contrasting views on the structural history impede placing the island in a clear tectonic framework, limiting the broader impact of preserved information.

Mineral chemistry and geothermobarometry of metabasites of the Majerad igneous-metamorphic complex (SE of Shahrood)

Journal of Economic Geology, 2020
Introduction Thermobarometric models based on the chemical equilibrium among coexisting mineral-mineral or mineral-melts pairs are useful tools widely used to estimate the P-T path and chemical evolution during igneous processes. The high sensitivity of

P–T Modelling Constrains the Depth of Emplacement of the Porto Azzurro Pluton and Implies Minor Exhumation Caused by the Zuccale Fault (Island of Elba, Italy)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 440-469, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the pressure of emplacement of granitic intrusions is crucial to understanding the exhumation history of plutons and constraining the tectonic setting of magma emplacement. However, P–T and geochronological constraints from exhumed plutons are often characterized by large uncertainties, especially in shallow crustal settings with

Metamorphic Dehydration, Fluid Pressure, and the Frictional‐Viscous Transition Along Subduction Megathrusts: Case Study in Cascadia and Implications for Slow Earthquakes

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Relative plate motion in subduction zones transitions from frictional slip to viscous flow with increasing depth and temperature. The frictional‐viscous transition can control the depth extent of megathrust earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

Rapid Incorporation of Metasediments Into Lower Crust of the Gangdese Magmatic Arc, Southern Tibet

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Deeply exhumed crustal terranes of continental arcs worldwide commonly contain metasedimentary components, but the nature of these lithologies and how they became incorporated into the lower crust are not fully understood.

Geochemistry and paleotectonomagmatic setting of metabasites protolith from Asalem metamorphic complex (northwest Rasht) [PDF]

پترولوژی, 2016
Asalem metamorphic complex consists mostly of metabasite, metapelite and serpentinite. Metabasites display metamorphic features of greenschist and blueschist facies.

Tracking Dehydration Reactions and Fossil Fluid Flux in Shear Zones Using Garnet Microstructures

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 394-414, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Shear zones act as preferential fluid pathways during prograde and retrograde stages of metamorphism. Nonetheless, we still have limited knowledge of the drainage and permeability of natural settings. The preserved signature of fluid in exhumed rocks provides insights into fluid flow during burial and exhumation.

Dispersive Elastic Moduli and Frequency-Dependent Attenuation due to Wave-Induced Fluid Flow in Metapelite

Seismica
Seismic waves are used to interpret geologic structure, composition, and environmental conditions in the Earth. However, rocks are not perfectly elastic and their viscoelasticity can dissipate energy during wave propagation.

Block‐in‐Matrix Deformation and Veining in Alpine Subducted Oceanic Metasediments at Blueschist Facies Conditions

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In subduction zones, the locked seismogenic zone is bordered by an upper and a lower transition zone. In these transition zones, deformation is primarily accommodated by an interplay of diffuse viscous deformation within a weak matrix and brittle deformation in stiffer bands and blocks.

Are Estimates of Lower Continental Crust Bulk Composition Biased Due to Seismic Anisotropy?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Most seismic inferences on the bulk composition of the lower continental crust are based on P‐wave velocities inferred from seismic wide‐angle data, for which the direction of propagation in the target region is sub‐horizontal. Given the likely presence of anisotropy in many parts of the lower continental crust, these estimates could be biased
