Activity
This research aims at investigating, from a geologic, petrologic, geochemical and geochronologic perspective, various metamorphic terranes from different orogenic contexts characterized by different ages but all representing portions of continental crust which experienced a metamorphic evolution at “extreme” conditions, i.e. at high/ultrahigh pressure (HP/UHP) and/or high/ultrahigh temperature (HT/UHT).
