First finding of continental deep subduction in the sesia zone of the western alps and implications for subduction dynamics

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: nwad et al. from the Sciences, University Hefei, China have published the research: First finding of continental deep subduction in the Sesia Zone of the Western Alps and implications for subduction dynamics, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors report the first finding of coesite in a jadeite-bearing orthogneiss from the Sesia Zone providing the first evidence for deep subduction of the continental crust to mantle depths for ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism in this zone. Combining pseudosection modeling and zirconological results, the authors show that the target rock experienced peak metamorphic pressures of . . .
