DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.02.032
Abstract: Abstract Crustal foundering is an important mechanism in the differentiation and recycling of continental crust. Nevertheless, little is known about the dynamics of the lower crust, the temporal scale of foundering and its role in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2021.106022
Abstract: Abstract Middle and lower orogenic crust exposed at the Earth's surface represent an exceptional opportunity to investigate accretionary and collisional processes in various tectonic settings. In particular, deciphering their metamorphic history in terms of evolving… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oregeorev.2021.104225
Abstract: Abstract The Wadi Al-Baroud area is located close to the tectonic boundary between the Northern and Central Eastern Desert of Egypt. The exposed rocks include younger (post-tectonic) and older (syn-tectonic) granitoids and rare metal pegmatites… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2019.105430
Abstract: Abstract Because of their essential information for constraining the timescales of high-temperature processes, zircon and monazite are the two most important minerals for understanding crustal processes. Zircon and monazite are common accessory minerals in pelitic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.sedgeo.2018.09.008
Abstract: Abstract The basal alluvial and fluvial siliciclastic successions within the late Carboniferous intracontinental basins of the west-central Bohemian Massif provide an intriguing sedimentary record of changes in paleotopography and paleodrainage systems during and after orogenic… read more here.
