We apply this approach to carbonaceous metasedimentary roc ks of the Franciscan subduction complex\, exposed in the Nacimiento block of central California\, USA\, an area that records high-pressure–low-tempe rature metamorphism prior to entrainment within the present-day transform plate boundary We demonstrate that this approach\, combined with regional  structural observations\, can be used to map previously unrecognized trans pressive ridges and quantify the vertical crustal movement. We propose tha t the Nacimiento block is affected by a localized post-metamorphic thermal anomaly that corresponds to a localized transpressive deformation since c a. 25 Ma at an uplift rate of about 0.3 mm/yrs.\n DTSTART:20231107T173000Z DTEND:20231107T183000Z SUMMARY:Geotop Seminars: Dr Brice LaCroix URL:/eps/channels/event/geotop-seminars-dr-brice-lacro ix-352149 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
