Abstract

This contribution presents a review exploring some aspects and issues surrounding the links between metamorphism and deformation at different scales. I first discuss the quantification methods of thermodynamics and the parameters able to overcome the kinetic barriers for metamorphic reactions. On the basis of some world’s type iconic examples I discuss how metamorphism is likely to portray the thermo-mechanical evolution of lithosphere active zones, thus large-scale tectonic processes. Finally, I present the multiple interactions between metamorphism and deformation at rock and outcrop scales.
