This text describes many aspects of the UHP rocks in the Dabieshan-Sulu region, including the geotectonic setting, mode of occurrence, mineralogy and petrology, isotope chronology, major and trace element chemistry, and metamorphic PTt path.

Nine chapters written by Chinese geologists describe aspects of the ultrahigh-pressure rocks in the Dabieshan-Sulu region of China, including geotectonic setting, mode of occurrence, mineralogy and petrology, isotope chronology, major and trace element chemistry, and metamorphic PTt path. The book also examines the possible geodynamic mechanisms involved in the deep subduction and rapid exhumation of UHP rocks. Contains black and white photographs of rocks, and numerous graphs and tables. Of interest to researchers and graduate students in metamorphic petrology and global tectonics.
