Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism: 25 Years After the Discovery of Coesite and Diamond

by Simon Wallis, Simon Cuthbert, Shah Wali Faryad

Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphism (UHPM) is a fast growing discipline that was established 25 years ago after discoveries of high pressure minerals, coesite and diamonds. The current explosion of research on UHMP terranes reflects their significance for understanding large scale mantle dynamics, major elements of plate tectonics such as continental collisions, deep subduction and exhumation, mountains building, geochemical recycling 'from surface to...
