Abstract Eastern Australia encompasses the longest track (~2000 km) of age-progressive continental volcanoes on Earth. These so-called ‘central volcanoes’ are shield considered as surficial expressions Cenozoic mantle plume activity under northward moving Australian continent. Here, we investigate three central located in southern, younger part volcanic (Ebor, Nandewar, and Canobolas) with aim ...

Mineral inclusions are trapped in a variety of geological environments and physical conditions. If brought to conditions different than their entrapment, mineral will generally experience stress hosts due differences thermo-elastic properties the associated deformation. These develop both prograde retrograde metamorphic The currently available analytical solutions consider isotropic materials e...

[1] Taiwan’s Hsüehshan range experienced penetrative coaxial deformation within and near the brittle-plastic transition between 6.5 and 3 Ma. This recent and short-lasting deformation in an active, well-studied orogen makes it an ideal natural laboratory for studying crustal rheology. Recrystallized grain size piezometry in quartz and Ti-in-quartz thermobarometry yield peak differential stresse...
