Metamorphic Conditions along Convergent Plate Junctions

Member Non-Member   $25.00 $25.00   edited by W.G. Ernst Douglas Rumble III Year Published:  2008 Total Pages:  864 ISBN:  9780978771003 Product Code:  IBS010 This book assembles diverse papers on mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, and tectonics produced for a symposium held at Stanford University on metamorphic conditions along convergent plate junctions. The scientific contributions, honoring Professor Juhn G. Liou on the occasion of his retirement from the regular Stanford faculty mirror some of “Louie’s” seminal scientific contributions in experimental mineralogy, low-grade and high- to ultrahigh-pressure (HP-UHP) metamorphic petrology-geochemistry, and plate tectonics of subducted Circumpacific and collisional terranes. The book, which emphasizes HP-UHP recrystallization, is divided into a lead section concerned with overarching principles, followed by topical studies of important high- and ultrahigh-pressure terranes around the world, including (1) east-central China, (2) western China–western Himalayas, (3) the southwestern Pacific, (4) northern Kazakhstan and the southern Ural Mountains, (5) the western Alps and central European massifs, (6) western Norway–east Greenland, (7) southwestern North American terranes, and (8) central Korea–southwestern Japan.
