This session welcomes studies covering all aspects of rock deformation in metamorphic environments. It aims at spanning a bridge from micromechanics through rheology to multi-scale field-based investigations and innovative methodological approaches in two- to four dimensions. The submission of field-based studies is strongly encouraged, and we aim at integrating them with results from experimental rock deformation as well as numerical and analogue modeling. We also especially invite contributions that focus on fluid-rock interaction in the middle and lower crust. We expect to host talks and posters integrating views from structural geology, metamorphic petrology, mineralogy and applied hard rock geology.

Potential publication in a special volume.
