The Late- Cretaceous volcanic rocks from Talesh area (western Alborz): chemical variation, crystallization condition, hygrometry and tectonic setting [PDF]
In the Talesh area (western Alborz), a thick sedimentary- volcanic association formed in a littoral- deltaic environment during the Late Cretaceous. The extrusives comprise volcanoclastics (tuffs), lava flows (pillow and massive) and basic dykes.

Paleozoic high-temperature metamorphism and deformation related to Proto-Tethys closure and Paleo-Tethys opening in the north of Central-East Iranian Microcontinent, based on the mineralogy of Airakan metagranite [PDF]
Granites are one of the most abundant rock groups formed the continental crust, and are considered for investigating the temperature conditions of their formation and metamorphism. Thus, they are a unique window to magmatism and tectonic evolution of the

Metamorphic evolutions of high-pressure low-temperature units from ophiolitic mélange of North Soghan (NE Hajiabad, Hormozgan) [PDF]
The Seghin metamorphic complex of ophiolitic mélange from the north Soghan, composed of metamorphic suites varying in protolith and metamorphic grade. The rock units of this complex have been metamorphosed under PT conditions of pumpellyite- actinolite ...

Geology and crystallization conditions of the Särkiniemi intrusion and related nickel-copper ore, central Finland – implications for depth of emplacement of 1.88 Ga nickel-bearing intrusions [PDF]
Several Ni-Cu deposits occur within the Kotalahti area, central Finland, in proximity to an Archaean gneiss dome surrounded by a Palaeoproterozoic craton-margin supracrustal sequence comprising quartzites, limestones, calc-silicate rocks, black schists ...

Mineral chemistry and thermobarometry of Dorbeh diorite metamorphic aureole, south of Urmia [PDF]
Hercynite-rich spinel is a typical mineral of both quartz-bearing and quartz-free metapelitic rocks that form under low-pressure high-temperature conditions in the granulite facies (Sengupta et al., 1991) or upper-amphibolite facies of regional and ...

Mineral chemistry, thermobarometry and tectonomagmatic setting of Late-Cretaceous volcanic rocks from the Kojid area (south of Lahijan, northern Alborz) [PDF]
The volcanic rocks of Kojid area (south of Lahijan) crop out in northern Alborz. They show mainly pillow structure with numerous cross-cutting dykes. Based on lithostratigraphic relationships and interpillow pelagic limestones, the volcanics are Late ...

Old/New Subduction Zone Paradigms as Seen From the Cascades
This paper briefly reviews the magmatic manifestations of volcanic arcs and aspects of how such magmas form. Common concepts about “how subduction zones work” are reassessed—with particular emphasis on the atypical Cascades volcanic arc.

Variations in the P‐T‐t of Deformation in a Crustal‐Scale Shear Zone in Metagranite
Deformation in crustal‐scale shear zones occurs over a range of pressure‐temperature‐time (P‐T‐t) conditions, both because they may be vertically extensive structures that simultaneously affect material from the lower crust to the surface, and because ...
