Himalayan Metamorphism and Its Tectonic Implications
The Himalayan range exposes a spectacular assemblage of metamorphic rocks from the midand deep crust that have fostered numerous models of how the crust responds to continental collisions. Recent petrogenetically based petrologic and geochronologic studies elucidate processes with unprecedented resolution and critically test models that range from continuum processes to one-time events. The pro...
متن کاملSnow metamorphism: A fractal approach.
Snow is a porous disordered medium consisting of air and three water phases: ice, vapor, and liquid. The ice phase consists of an assemblage of grains, ice matrix, initially arranged over a random load bearing skeleton. The quantitative relationship between density and morphological characteristics of different snow microstructures is still an open issue. In this work, a three-dimensional fract...
متن کاملMetamorphism, Formal Grammars and Undecidable Code Mutation
This paper presents a formalisation of the different existing code mutation techniques (polymorphism and metamorphism) by means of formal grammars. While very few theoretical results are known about the detection complexity of viral mutation techniques, we exhaustively address this critical issue by considering the Chomsky classification of formal grammars. This enables us to determine which fa...
متن کاملTiming of granulite-facies metamorphism in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and its tectonic implications
We present geochronological evidence in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis (Namche Barwa) for high-pressure (HP) granulite-facies metamorphism and explain its importance for understanding both the deep continental subduction of the Indian plate beneath Asia and its subsequent exhumation. The timing of peak and retrograde metamorphism in part constrains these processes but is debated. We present zir...
متن کاملMetamorphism in the Ross orogen and its bearing on Gondwana margin tectonics
The Ross orogen of Antarctica is one of Earth’s great Phanerozoic mountain belts. It is thought from igneous geochemistry, deformation patterns, and sedimentation history to be the result of late Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic plate-margin convergence between paleo-Pacifi c oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere represented by the composite East Antarctic shield. Convergence along ...
