  abstract  = {In subduction zones, many observations indicate that the backarc thermal state is particularly hot and that the upper lithosphere is thin, even if no recent extension episode has occurred. This might result from free thermal convection favored by low viscosities in the hydrated mantle wedge. We perform 2-D numerical experiments of the convective mantle wedge interaction with both the downgoing slab and the overriding plate to test this hypothesis, explore its physical mechanism, and assess its dependencies on some relevant rock properties. Water transfers across the subducting plate and the mantle wedge are explicitly modeled by including in the calculation realistic hydration/ dehydration reaction boundaries for a water-saturated mantle and oceanic crust. The rheology is non-Newtonian and temperature-, pressure-, and water content-dependent. For low strength reduction associated to water content, the upper plate is locally thinned by an enhanced corner flow. For larger strength reductions, small convection cells rapidly thin the upper plate ( in less than 15 Myr) over the area in the overriding lithosphere hydrated by slab-derived water fluxes. As a result, the thinned region location depends on the subducting plate thermal state, and it increases with high convergence rates and low subduction dip angles. Other simulations are performed to test the sole effect of hydrous rock weakening on the upper plate/mantle convective interaction. They show that the thinning process is not influenced by the corner flow, but develops at the favor of a decoupling level induced by the formation of hydroxylated minerals inside the hydrated lithosphere. The erosion mechanism identified in these simulations allows us to explain the characteristic duration of erosion as a function of the hydrous strength reduction. We find that the presence of amphibole in the upper lithosphere in significant proportions is required down to a temperature of about 980 degrees C, corresponding to an initial depth of similar to 70 km, to strongly decrease the strength of the base of the lithosphere and trigger a rapid erosion (< 15 Myr).},

  abstract  = {The Takab calcareous rocks of northwest Iran crop out in association with a variety of metamorphic rocks including mafic granulites, amphibolites, granitic gneisses, pelitic schists and meta-ultramafic rocks. They can be divided into marbles and calc-silicate rocks on the basis of the dominance of calcite/dolomite and silicate minerals. Dominant peak metamorphic granulite facies assemblage of calc-silicate rocks is Scp + Grt(I) + Cpx + Cal + Qtz +/- Hbl(I). The decrease of temperature and pressure during exhumation produced post-peak metamorphic assemblages. Coronal garnet (Grt II) in the calc-silicate rocks was produced by retrograde reactions consuming plagioclase and clinopyroxene, while peak metamorphic garnet (Grt I) occurs as preserved xenoblastic grains in calcite and/or plagioclase (Pl II). Regional metamorphism took place at 740 degrees C and X-CO2 similar to 0.9. Garnet-clinopyroxene-plagioclase-quartz (GADS) barometry yields a pressure of 8-9 kbar, corresponding to a depth of ca. 24-27 km. This was followed by decompression and hydration during exhumation of the crustal rocks up to the surface. Secondary phases such as garnet (II) hornblende (II), plagioclase (II), zoisite and titanite (II) constrain the temperature and pressure of post-peak metamorphism as similar to 600 degrees C and similar to 6 kbar respectively and a fluid with XCO2 as low as 0.4. Halogens were near-absent during the peak metamorphic stage. The scapolite and hornblende crystallized underpeak metamorphic conditions contain very low fluorine and chlorine, whereas relatively high fluorine (similar to 0.8 wt\%) in the titanite (II) and hornblende (II) suggests a possible infiltration of F-rich fluids into the calc-silicate rocks during retrogression. It is interpreted to be related to external fluids released during crystallisation of granitoid magmas and/or leucosome patches in the adjacent migmatites.},

  abstract  = {The post-Variscan uplift of the western Anti-Atlas Precambrian core is studied by zircon fission track (ZFT) analysis of ten samples of granites and schists from the Kerdous and Ifni inliers. All samples yield Carboniferous ZFT ages ranging from 358 +/- 31 Ma to 319 +/- 32 Ma, with nine dates younger than 338 +/- 35 Ma. The weighted mean age calculated for these nine samples is 328 +/- 30 Ma. These results compare with the available K-Ar datings of white mica and biotite from the same rocks or from the overlying Ediacaran-Cambrian low-grade metasediments. The fact that different systems with distinct closure temperatures yield similar ages suggests the occurrence of a short Carboniferous thermal event followed by rapid cooling. Consistent with the regional geological framework, the thermal event is assigned to the Variscan folding, being followed by rapid exhumation and cooling related to the post-folding erosion.
