Tectonic setting of Palaeoproterozoic eclogites in Tanzania
In the modern Earth the preservation of low/medium temperature eclogites requires rapid burial and exhumation; conditions which are commonly found in subduction systems. Eclogites are rare in the older geological record either because they didn't form because of a hotter Earth, or because exhumation did not occur in the same way as it does today. The oldest known in-situ eclogites are found around the Tanzanian craton central East Africa and have recently been dated at 2.0 Ga. This project will study the orogenic setting of these eclogites by using structural, geochemical, thermochronological and thermo-barometric data collected both in the field and in the laboratory.
