Abstract:In order to decipher the prevalent processes active at depth in orogenic systems, their time sequence and their rates have to be assessed. This is essentially done via absolute dating of accessory and rock-forming metamorphic minerals. The interpretation of dates, now produced in high quantities and low uncertainties, with geochemical and textural information thanks to in situ dating techniques, into ages with a geological meaning, is based on sophisticated multi-disciplinary approaches. The wealth of data pro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
