It is now recognized that the formation and exhumation of these ultrahigh-pressure—or UHP—rocks is an inherent and fundamental dynamic aspect of collisional orogenesis that affects a panoply of Earth processes including, but not limited to, exchange of material between the crust and mantle, the generation and collapse of mountain belts, the formation of continental crust, and the influence of UHP rock formation and exhumation on tectonic plate motions. This volume presents a collection of papers highlighting recent discoveries in the field.
