The transition from continental collision to oceanic subduction in Myanmar
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The geology at the margins of continental collision zones is characterized by a pronounced three-dimensionality, whereby crustal thickening, lateral material flow, and crust-mantle interaction are acting processes. The region of the eastern syntaxis of the Himalayas, parts of which are located in Myanmar, China, and India, is an ideal natural laboratory for studying the processes at the transition from continental collision to oceanic subduction. We report an investigation of the location of the continental collision‒oceanic subduction transition in the upper plate (see Min et al., 2022 for a study on the lower plate), the Mogok metamorphic belt, an equivalent to the Lhasa Terrane and the Gangdese magmatic arc in Tibet. Our working hypothesis is that crustal thickening by shortening, Barrovian metamorphism, anatectic melting characterize the continental collision section and arc magmatism, Buchanan metamorphism, and lack of major shortening characterize the oceanic subduction section. Therefore, we reconstruct the pressure-temperature-deformation time (P-T-d-t) history along several transects along-strike of the Mogok metamorphic belt from Yunnan in the north to the Mergui archipelago of southern Myanmar in the south. Transition zones from continental collision to oceanic subduction may also trigger the initiation and subsequent sideway propagation of slab break-off (e.g., Webb et al., 2017). Such a location may be characterized by advective heat input, manifested by ultra-high temperature metamorphism and a flare-up of magmatism. We present first results from several traverses concerning this research questions from petrology, and Lu/Hf garnet, U-Th-Pb zircon, monazite, titanite, Ar/Ar amphibole, mica, feldspar, fission-track zircon, titanite, and apatite, and (U-Th)/He apatite geochronology.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
