Recent discoveries of diamond and coesite in the upper crustal
rocks of the Earth have drastically changed scientists' ideas
concerning the limits of crustal metamorphism. This book provides
detailed accounts of the discoveries of diamond and coesite in
crustal rocks and provides insights regarding their formation at
very high pressures. The formation of these minerals is related to
subduction and continental collision and the tectonics,
petrological and mineralogical conditions of diamond and coesite
formation are each discussed. Written by the leading workers in
this exciting field, this book attempts to define an entirely new
field of metamorphism - ultrahigh pressure metamorphism (UHPM). In
doing so, it explains the formation of ultrahigh pressure minerals
and explores new ideas regarding the tectonic setting of this style
of metamorphism. This book will be of particular interest to
researchers and graduate students of metamorphic petrology and
global tectonics.
