High-temperature metamorphism in the western Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province (South Africa): implications for low-pressure granulite terranes

The interpretation of pressure (P)-temperature (T)-time (t) data is key to reconstruct the geologic evolution of ancient exhumed orogens. Of these, temperature is regarded as proxy for the heat energy available during orogenic metamorphism. Heat - the ultimate driving force of metamorphism - is cons...
