Crustal subduction and the exhumation of (ultra)high-pressure terranes: contrasting modes with examples from the Alps and Caledonides

The widespread recognition of (ultra)high-pressure ((U)HP) metamorphic rocks in orogens worldwide suggests that subduction and exhumation of crustal rocks from mantle depths are normal processes at convergent plate margins. However, the dynamics of these processes, in particular the comparative role...
