Exhumation of the lower crust (e.g., orogenic root) is one of the key topics in understanding the evolution of global orogenic belts. Numerous geological and geophysical investigations have been carried out in typical Phanerozoic continent-to-continent collisional orogens (e.g., Alps and Himalayas) and built various models. These well-constrained approaches and models can be also used to unravel the orogenic processes of the early Earth, in particular the Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic eons.
