Lithospheric 3D gravity modelling using upper-mantle density constraints: Towards a characterization of the crustal configuration in the North Patagonian Massif area, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The North Patagonian Massif is an Argentinean plateau that has an average height of 1200 m and stands from 500 to 700 m above the neighboring areas. During Paleogene, it suffered a sudden uplift of more than 1200 m without noticeable internal deformation;

Lithospheric origin of a diamond from the Rio Sorriso area, Mato Grosso State, Brazil

open access: yesFrontiers in Geochemistry
Diamonds are unique samples that enlarge our vision of the physical and chemical reactions occurring in Earth’s deep, inaccessible mantle. By investigating the minerals and fluids trapped within them, it is possible to ascertain the key conditions ...

Response to a comment by Chun-Ming Wu on "Quantifying the tectono-metamorphic evolution of pelitic rocks from a wide range of tectonic settings: mineral compositions in equilibrium” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Commonly used thermometer and barometer calibrations are sensitive to mineral assemblage and, thus, bulk-rock composition. Calculated mineral stabilities for an average pelitic rock over a pressure-temperature (PT) range appropriate for normal, thickened,

Constraints from rocks in the Taiwan orogen on crustal stress levels and rheology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Taiwan's Hsüehshan range experienced penetrative coaxial deformation within and near the brittle-plastic transition between ∼6.5 and 3 Ma. This recent and short-lasting deformation in an active, well-studied orogen makes it an ideal natural laboratory ...

Metamorphism of the Oddanchatram anorthosite, Tamil Nadu, South India [PDF]

open access: yes
The Oddanchatram anorthosite is located in the Madurai District of Tamil Nadu, near the town of Palni. It is emplaced into a granulite facies terrain commonly presumed to have undergone its last regional metamorphism in the late Archean about 2600 m.y ...

Compositional zoning of garnet porphyroblasts from the polymetamorphic Wölz Complex, Eastern Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We employ garnet isopleth thermobarometry to derive the P-T conditions of Permian and Cretaceous metamorphism in the Wölz crystalline Complex of the Eastern Alps.

Interaction of mantle convection with the lithosphere and the origin of kimberlites

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2013
Thermobarometry of xenolites/xenocrysts from 39 kimberlites of Eurasia, Africa, and North America demonstrates that the deepest xenolites, as well as all the other, are exhumed from the depleted lithosphere implying in agreement with petrologic and ...
