Research activity Research on metamorphic petrology of high- and ultrahigh-pressure rocks and fluids from orogenic belts (Alps; Betic Cordillera, Spain; Dabie-Shan Sulu, China; Caledonides of Western Norway). Field-based and process-oriented research, aimed to understand behaviour of rock and fluid systems in subduction zones. Goals: (1) tectonic and petrologic processes attending subduction and exhumation of HP and UHP rocks; (2) genesis, composition and role of fluids in subduction-zones, in mass transfer and genesis of magmas at convergent plate margins, and in exhumation tectonics of HP and UHP rocks; (3) recycling of volatiles and of incompatible elements from shallow earth environments (oceans, forearcs) to the deep mantle. The focus is on the water and carbon transport, their storage in hydrates and carbonates and the crystallization of inclusions from complex fluid phases. Monitors of these episodes are fluid-mobile elements like boron, chlorine, lithium and large-ion lithophile elements, that partition into the deep fluids and melts,. (4) metasomatic effects produced by subduction fluids in the mantle rocks, implications for element recycling and arc magmatism; (5) carbon cycling in subduction zones as recorded by high and ultrahigh pressure rocks Production 53 papers on international ISI journals.
