Ages and P-T conditions of metamorphic events in the Windmill Islands

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The age and conditions of metamorphism of the Windmill Islands were investigated using samples collected in the 2013/2014 field season from locations throughout the Windmill Islands region.

Description

The Windmill Islands vary in metamorphic grade, from amphibolite-facies in the north, to high-grade granulite-facies in the south. Samples were selected from peninsulas and islands from north to south to explore the changing conditions in detail throughout the region.

These are interim results and further work will be undertaken in 2015, particularly to further constrain the P-T conditions. A list and short summary of all files is provided below. Detailed methodology for data collection is provided in summaries 1 and 2.
