Recent discoveries of diamond and coesite in the ultrahigh-
pressure (UHP) metamorphosed supracrustal rocks have provoked a new
challenge to present-day geodynamic ideas. A worldwide shift
towards a new paradigm on the Earth's dynamics is imminent. Facing
the new challenge, Chinese geologists have been taking an active
role. The Dabieshan-Sulu region, the largest and best exposed UHP
belt in the world, has attracted international attention. This
comprehensive book describes many aspects of the UHP rocks in the
Dabieshan-Sulu region, including the geotectonic setting, mode of
occurrence, mineralogy and petrology, isotope chronology, major and
trace element chemistry, and metamorphic PTt path. The possible
geodynamic mechanisms involved in the deep subduction and rapid
exhumation of UHP rocks are also discussed. This book will be of
particular interest to researchers and graduate students of
metamorphic petrology and global tectonics.
