Foliation inflexion/intersection axes (FIAs) preserved within porphyroblasts that grew throughout Isan orogenesis reveal significant anticlockwise changes in the direction of bulk horizontal shortening between 1670 ...
Constraints from P-T pseudosections (MnNCKFMASH system), foliation intersection/ inflection axes preserved in porphyroblasts (FIAs), mineral assemblages and textural relationships for rocks containing all three Al...
Successions of FIAs(foliation inflection/intersection axes preserved within porphyroblasts) provide a relative time scale for deformation and metamorphism.In-situ dating of monazite grains preserved as inclusions wi...
FIAs have been used extensively for more than a decade to unravel deformation and metamorphic puzzles. Orogenic processes developing early during the history or orogenesis challenge scientists because compositional la...
With the realization that rocks with a schistosity parallel to bedding(S0 parallel S1)have undergone lengthy histories of deformation that predate the obvious first deformation(e.g.Bell et al.,2003; Sayab,2006;Yeh,200...
FIAS tool has been used extensively by for more than a decade to unravel the deformational puzzle.Orogenic processes have always challenged scientists,as rocks usually reactivate during the repeated cycles of deformat...

Although porphyroblast microstructures play an important role in structural and metamorphic studies, there are still controversies in the interpretation. The focus is how porphyroblasts grow during deformation and met...
