Prof. Ethan Baxter co-authors a paper on the subduction history of Syros, Greece

The new paper, entitled "Insight Into the Early Exhumation of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit, Syros, Greece: Combined Application of Zoned Garnet Geochronology, Thermodynamic Modeling, and Quartz Elastic Barometry" was published in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, and Geosystems. Baxter's group has constrained the timing of exhumation of the famous high-pressure eclogites from Syros, Greece through high precision zoned garnet geochronology.  The initial stages of decompression are recorded in garnet growth spanning about 5 million years. For more information about Prof. Baxter's research visit his website.
