The accuracy, reliability and best practises of Tiin-quartz thermobarometry (TitaniQ) in greenschist facies rocks have not been established. To address these issues, we measured Ti concentrations in rutile-bearing samples of moderately deformed, partially recrystallized quartzite and vein quartz from the Hsüehshan range, Taiwan. The spread of Ti concentrations of recrystallized grains in quartz...

Sheltered inside crystals, mineral inclusions preserve crucial information on the geological history of our planet. These allow estimation pressure and temperature trajectories metamorphic rocks, but also can tell about rock mineralogy, provenance, geodynamic petrogenetic processes. This is recovered under axiom that have remained immutable objects do not change shape after their entrapment. Co...

The geological record of the eastern Sierras Pampeanas province, in modern Andean broken foreland Argentina can be divided into four main events: (1) Proterozoic to early Paleozoic collisional tectonics, (2) middle-late anorogenic magmatism, relief generation and glacial paleovalley formation followed by (3) a classical filling Permian two proximal alluvial sedimentation associated with Cretace...

This virtual special issue represents a collection of papers concerning Crustal Melting selected by the Editor from those published on various aspects of this theme in the JMG since 1982. The papers are grouped into sequences that address topics that have been prominent in the JMG during the last 30 years concerning the origin, evolution and tectonic role of migmatites and migmatitic granulites...
