Introduction to Geodynamics for High- and Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism

Island Arc, 1998
Since the first workshop on ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphism at Stanford in 1994 and the special issue of The Island Arc `Ultrahigh‐Pressure Metamorphism and Tectonics' published in December 1995, many symposia and special sessions specifically with regard to the UHP metamorphic terrane have been held.

An Introduction to Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism

Island Arc, 1994
Abstract Ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphism refers to mineralogical and structural readjustment of supracrustal protoliths and associated mafic‐ultramafic rocks at mantle pressures greater than ∼ 25 kbar (80‐90 km). Typical products include metapelite, quartzite, marble, granulite, eclogite, paragneiss and orthogneiss; minor mafic and ...

Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism and Tectonics

Island Arc, 1995
Abstract Recognition of several ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic terranes in continental collision belts has revolutionized the concept of geodynamic processes. In order to facilitate better communication and focus among active investigators, the Task Group III‐6 of the International Lithosphere Program‘Ultrahigh‐Pressure Metamorphism and ...

Microdiamonds — Frontier of Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism: A Review

Gondwana Research, 2012
Abstract This is a comprehensive review paper devoted to microdiamonds from ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic (UHPM) terranes incorporated in orogenic belts formed at convergent plate boundaries in Paleozoic–Mesozoic–Alpine time. When in 1980 the first small diamonds were discovered within “amphibolite–granulate facies” metamorphic rocks, it came as a ...

Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism: Tracing Continental Crust Into the Mantle

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003
Abstract More and more evidence is being discovered in Phanerozoic collision belts of the burial of crustal rocks to previously unsuspected (and ever increasing) depths, presently on the order of 150–200 km, and of exhumation from such depths. This extends by almost one order of magnitude the depth classically ascribed to the metamorphic cycling of ...

Early Proterozoic Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphism: Evidence From Microdiamonds

Science, 2004
Microdiamonds from the Akluilâk minette dykes (Nunavut, Canada) are similar to diamonds formed in subducted metamorphic rocks. High concentrations of unaggregated nitrogen and positive δ 15 N suggest that the microdiamonds formed within rocks subducted to ultrahigh pressures before being sampled by the minette ...

On Continent-Continent Point-Collision and Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism

Acta Geologica Sinica, 2002
Abstract  Up to now it is known that almost all ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphism of non‐impact origin occurred in continent‐continent collisional orogenic belt, as has been evidenced by many outcrops in the eastern hemisphere. UHP metamorphic rocks are represented by coesite‐ and diamond‐bearing eclogites and eclogite facies metamorphic rocks ...

Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphism

open access: yes, 1995
Recent discoveries of diamond and coesite in the upper crustal rocks of the Earth have drastically changed scientists' ideas concerning the limits of crustal metamorphism. This book provides detailed accounts of the discoveries of diamond and coesite in crustal rocks and provides insights regarding their formation at very high pressures.

Vanishing Evidence of Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism: A Case Study of the Rhodope Metamorphic Complex, Greece

Journal of Metamorphic Geology
ABSTRACT Evidence of metamorphism at ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) conditions is documented by the presence of coesite, diamond and/or majoritic garnet. However, the growth of UHP‐stable phases such as majoritic garnet is often volumetrically low, and overprinting during exhumation can obscure evidence of UHP growth, making it difficult to
