Distribution, style, amount of collisional shortening, and their link to Barrovian metamorphism in the European Alps
2021, Earth-Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Berger et al. (2011) showed that the T distribution of the Lepontine dome, as determined from mineral parageneses, depends both on the effect of advective heat, transported by the stacking of HP fragments, and by shortening of lower plate basement units, thus thickening and increasing the amount of radiogenic material in the orogenic wedge. Alternatively, viscous shear heating in the mantle (Burg and Gerya, 2005), and attenuation of the mantle lithosphere (Stüwe and Sandiford, 1995), were also suggested and modelled to be viable heat sources, respectively for the Lepontine metamorphism in the Central Alps and for the Tauern metamorphism in the Eastern Alps (Fig. 1). Although Barrovian metamorphism typically develops during the collisional stages of orogeny, its distribution in the Alpine Chain is discontinuous along strike (Fig. 1b).
Rapid formation and exhumation of the youngest Alpine eclogites: A thermal conundrum to Barrovian metamorphism
2011, Earth and Planetary Science LettersCitation Excerpt :Disparity between predicted and observed timescales of heating necessitates additional mechanisms to conductive heating. These include: elevated mantle heat flow (Oxburgh and Turcotte, 1974; Stüwe and Sandiford, 1995), increased radiogenic heat production (Huerta et al., 1999; Jamieson et al., 1998), shear heating (Grujic et al., 1996; Searle et al., 2008; Whittington et al., 2009), magmatism (Lyubetskaya and Ague, 2010), advective transport of heat by fluids (Bickle and McKenzie, 1987) and advection of heat by tectonics (Burg and Gerya, 2005). The Tauern Window is a classic locality for modelling the thermal evolution of overthrust terrains (Bickle et al., 1975; Cornelius et al., 1939; England, 1978; England and Richardson, 1977; England and Thompson, 1984; Oxburgh and England, 1980; Oxburgh and Turcotte, 1974; Richardson and England, 1979).
Numerical modelling of PT-paths related to rapid exhumation of high-pressure rocks from the crustal root in the Variscan Erzgebirge Dome (Saxony/Germany)
2002, Journal of GeodynamicsCitation Excerpt :Hence, further efforts are needed to link the results from theoretical studies of delamination and detachment of lithospheric roots to the natural record on the P–T-time-deformation histories of metamorphic rocks in collisional orogens. This is especially important for correctly deciphering the tectonic development of those metamorphic terrains for which delamination and detachment are recognized as major geodynamic processes (e.g. Bird, 1978; Stüwe and Sandiford, 1995; Zulauf, 1997; Schott and Schmeling, 1998; Willner et al., 2000). One of the most interesting natural example of such terrains is found in the Bohemian Massif of the Mid-European Variscides belt.
