High pressure (HP) and ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks play a key role in understanding the tectonic evolution of orogenic belts. They have typically experienced complex changes during subduction and exhumation processes arising from recrystallization, deformation, fluid rock interactions and even partial melting, and may therefore carry valuable records of evolving geodynamic systems in an orogenic belt. This special publication addresses the current work on HP UHP metamorphism and its relation to the tectonic evolution of orogenic belts.
This special publication contains fifteen papers which were presented as part of the session HP UHP metamorphism and tectonic evolution of orogenic belts , held at the 35th International Geological Congress in Cape Town, South Africa. These papers have been grouped into three parts: (I) new developments in the determination of metamorphic pressure temperature (PT) conditions and their timing, (II) overview papers of well-known HP UHP metamorphic belts and (III) research papers for some newly discovered HP UHP belts.
