This session is the continuation of last year's JPGU 2013's international symposium "Collision, Subduction, and Metamorphic processes". The symposium is aimed at considering the processes involved with the continental collision, slabs subduction and related metamorphic processes. The multi-disciplinary approach will be applied to extract the information preserved in various rocks and minerals via structural, geophysical, petrologic, geochemical and experimental studies. These include formation processes of new minerals/textures, their growth history and recrystalization, inclusion morphology, and metamorphic reactions. Topics related to rocks and minerals formed in the processes of continental collisions, oceanic subductions, and regional metamorphisms are most welcome from the major orogenic belts worldwide. Topics in this session also include links between hydration and dehydration along the subduction channels, cycling of continental crust, deformation mechanisms in the subduction, collision regimes, formation and exhumation of various metamorphic rocks such as granulites, blueschist and HP/UHP eclogites and other metamorphic rock types.The session also aims at exchanging ideas among geoscientists applying different approaches on problems related to the subducting slabs, collision boundaries and related metamorphic processes. New works with novel or interdisciplinary techniques to the related theme are especially welcomed.
