Journal Article
(2018). Tracing ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism at the catchment scale. Scientific reports, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-21262-8

Finding traces of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism in the geological record has huge implications for unravelling Earth’s geodynamic evolution, such as the onset of deep subduction. Usually, UHP rocks are identified by specific mineral inclusion... Read More about Tracing ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism at the catchment scale.
