Tectonic exhumation of a metamorphic core in an arc-continent collision during oblique convergence, Taiwan

Abstract Observations over the last few decades from a number of orogenic systems have highlighted the possible importance of tectonic exhumation, i.e., ductile thinning and normal faulting, in exhuming rocks once buried in high-pressure conditions. Taiwan is one of the few active orogens in the wor...
