Metamorphism and Crustal Evolution (Hardcover)  | Released: 2005

This book is in commemoration of the life and work of Professor R.S. Sharma, an eminent metamorphic petrologist and mineralogist. It incorporates the latest developments in the field of metamorphic petrology. The Volume is divided into five sections, namely Metamorphism, Fluid Processes, Himalayan Metamorphism, UHP/ UHT Metamorphism, and Geochronology & Geochemistry. The book would be of great interest to all geoscientists concerned with metamorphic processes and crustal evolution. The main topics covered in the book include: The Granulite Facies, Crustal Melting, and Prograde and Retrograde Phase Equilibria in Metapelites at the Amphibolite to Granulite Facies Transition Tim E. Johnson and M.Brown; Evolution of EarlyProterozoic Metamorphism within Tim-Yastrebovskaya Paleorift, Voronezh Crystalline Massif, East-European Platform: Metapelite Systematics, Phase Equilibrium, and P-T Conditions Tatyana N.
