Metamorphic Facies Distribution in the Western Alps Predicted by Petrological‐Thermomechanical Models of Syn‐Convergent Exhumation

Abstract The distribution of metamorphic rocks throughout the western European Alps indicates subduction‐related metamorphism. However, processes by which high‐grade metamorphic rocks exhume remain disputed. Here, we present two‐dimensional petrological‐thermomechanical numerical models to investiga...
