Arc-continent collision in Papua Guinea: Constraints from fission track thermochronology
Article Abstract:
Application of zircon (ZFT) and apatite fission track (AFT) analyses of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Mobile Belt next to the Finisterre Arc were undertaken. Theses analyses of rocks previously dated by K-Ar and Rb-Sr analyses, constrain Neogene time-temperature paths and tectonic models.

Comment on "Back arc extension and denudation of Mediterranean eclogites" by Dov Avigad, Zvi Garfunkel, Laurent Jolivet, and Jose M. Azanon
Article Abstract:
It is not necessary for Aegean back arc extension to have begun during the greenschist facies overprint of the Cycladic eclogites. It is likely that synorogenic extension accommodated only up to one third of the total exhumation of the eclogites.
