Constraining kinematic rotation axes in high-strain zones: A potential microstructural method

The correct determination of the kinematic rotation axis (vorticity) in high-strain zones is essential to the study of the tectonic evolution of the Earth's crust. Commonly the shear direction in high-strain zones is assumed to be parallel to mineral stretching lineations, that indicate the or...
