Crustal‐Scale Sheath Folding at HP Conditions in an Exhumed Alpine Subduction Zone (Tauern Window, Eastern Alps)

Groß, Philip; Handy, Mark R.; John, Timm; Pestal, Gerhard; Pleuger, Jan (Tectonics, 2020-02-21)

We investigate a well‐preserved paleo subduction channel that preserves a coherent part of the European continental margin exposed in the central Tauern Window (Eastern Alps), with the aim of testing models of sheath fold ...
Subduction Reversal in a Divergent Double Subduction Zone Drives the Exhumation of Southern Qiangtang Blueschist‐Bearing Mélange, Central Tibet

Li, D.; Wang, G. H.; Bons, P. D.; Zhao, Z. B.; Du, J. X.; Wang, S. L.; Yuan, G. L.; Liang, X.; Zhang, L.; Li, C.; Fang, D. R.; Tang, Y.; Hu, Y. L.; Fu, Y. Z. (Tectonics, 2020-04-04)

(Ultra) high‐pressure (HP) rocks can be exhumed rapidly by subduction reversal or divergent plate motion. Recent studies show that subduction reversal can in particular occur in a divergent double subduction zone when the ...
