Progress on petrology of high- and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks: 25 years

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of recent progress in the study of high- and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks, which record the dynamics and material interaction at subduction and continental collision zones. The focus is on ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic terranes worldwide for which Japanese scientists have contributed to petrological studies, and high-pressure metamorphic rocks, particularly eclogite and related lithologies, from the Sanbagawa, Renge, and other high-pressure metamorphic regions in Japan.
