DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2017.05.026
Abstract: Abstract High-resolution images of Earth’s interior provide pivotal information for the understanding of a range of geodynamic processes, including continental subduction and exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks. Here we present a synthesis of available… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023tc007839
Abstract: How to constrain the onset of continental subduction and prograde metamorphism in an orogen remains a fundamental question. The widespread Triassic ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks in the Dabie orogen in central‐east China are generally attributed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jmg.12305
Abstract: Handling editor: Jaroslaw Majka Abstract Tectonic erosion has been commonly recognized in oceanic subduction zones, but evidence of tectonic erosion related to continental subduction is rarely reported. In this contribution, we suggest a tectonic erosion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jmg.12803
Abstract: Robust quantification of the prograde P–T trajectories of eclogite exhumed from subduction zones is fundamental for deciphering the thermal structure evolution and understanding the geodynamic processes during continental subduction. In this study, we investigate four… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abp9482
Abstract: Subduction is the main process that recycles surface material into the mantle. Fluids and melts derived by dehydration and partial melting reactions of subducted continental crust, a major reservoir of volatiles (i.e., H2O and CO2)… read more here.

Late Triassic continental eclogite in the central Tibetan Plateau reveals 2500-km-long Paleo-Tethys continental subduction

DOI: 10.1130/g52796.1
Abstract: Permian−Triassic eclogites exposed on the Tibetan Plateau have traditionally been attributed to Paleo-Tethys oceanic subduction. Here we report new data that indicate a continental-subduction origin of the Pianshishan eclogites along the Longmuco-Shuanghu Paleo-Tethys suture in… read more here.
