---High to Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphism

The Tethys Research Center is an Earth system sciences based research division that is supported by core disciplines such as deep geophysical exploration, structural geology, paleomagnetism, and geochronology. It focuses on the Tethyan orogenic belt, as well as the comprehensive study of its orogenesis, deep structures, response of surface processes to deep structures, and interactions between the different spheres of the Earth. Combining these multiple disciplines, the primary goal of the division is to contribute to the current knowledge of continental formation and evolution.
