Carissimi Associati Soci SGI,
Carissimi Soci Società Associate,
le unità metamorfiche di alta e ultra-alta pressione rappresentano laboratori naturali eccezionali per lo studio dei processi di subduzione, esumazione e riciclo geochimico a profondità crostali e subcrostali. In molti casi, l'analisi di tali processi richiede un approccio multi-scala e l'integrazione tra indagini di laboratorio e dettagliati studi geologici di terreno. In tale quadro, annunciamo una call for contributions per un volume speciale della rivista Geological Field Trips and Maps dal titolo "High/ultra-high pressure metamorphic terranes from outcrops to maps", curato da John Wakabayashi (California State University), Iwona Klonowska (Uppsala University), Ludovico Scorsolini (Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador) e Chiara Groppo (University of Turin). Il volume intende raccogliere guide e carte geologiche che sintetizzino osservazioni geologiche di terreno nelle unità metamorfiche di alta pressione, e che forniscano una base solida per future analisi multi-scala e multidisciplinari dei processi che caratterizzano le zone di subduzione attive e fossili.
Scadenza per la sottomissione dei contributi: maggio 2026

Key words: High/ultra-high pressure, metamorphic terranes, geological maps, guides.
High/ultra-high pressure metamorphic terranes offer exceptional natural laboratories to study subduction and exhumation processes and geochemical recycling at crustal and subcrustal depths. In many cases, the study of these processes requires a multi-scale approach, and the combination of laboratory analyses and careful geological field studies. For this special issue of Geological Field Trips and Maps, we are looking for guides and maps that summarize recent geological field observations in high-pressure metamorphic terranes, and that lay the foundation for future multi-scale and multi-disciplinary analyses of the processes that characterize active and fossil subduction zones.
Deadline for submission: May 2026

Geological Field Trips and Maps is the online international journal on field geology of the Italian Geological Society and the Geological Survey of Italy (IF 2023: 1.2). It publishes high-quality original geological and thematic maps with short notes, and geological guides relating to field excursions. It is open access and without publication fees paid by the authors. It has an international editorial board of experts in cartography and field geology from various universities and national geological surveys.
The standard issues of the journal welcome contributions from areas of high geological interest from all over the world, and on the technical aspects and innovative applications of geological and geothematic cartography.
