Geothermics of the Apenninic subduction
Annals of Geophysics, 1997 The subduction of the Adriatic microplate is analysed from a geothermal point of view. In particular four main geodynamic units are distinguished: foreland, foredeep and slab, accretionary prism, and back-arc basin.

The metamorphic evolution of an ancient accretionary prism in the southern zone of the Damara Belt in Namibia [PDF]
, 2013 The Southern Zone of the Damara Belt in central Namibia has an apparent stratigraphic thickness that exceeds 100 km and is comprised of highly strained, metamorphosed clastic sedimentary rocks that are intercalated with slices of metamorphosed basalt and

First magmatism in the New England Batholith, Australia: forearc and arc–back-arc components in the Bakers Creek Suite gabbros [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2017 The New England Orogen, eastern Australia, was established as an outboard extension of the Lachlan Orogen through the migration of magmatism into forearc basin and accretionary prism sediments.

Possible Jurassic age for part of Rakaia Terrane: implications for tectonic development of the Torlesse accretionary prism [PDF]
, 2001 Greywacke sandstone and argillite beds comprising Rakaia Terrane (Torlesse Complex) in mid Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand, are widely regarded as Late Triassic (Norian) in age based on the occurrence of Torlessia trace fossils, Monotis, and other ...

The Bunce Fault and Strain Partitioning in the Northern Lesser Antilles
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Strain partitioning related to oblique plate convergence has long been debated in Northern Lesser Antilles. Geophysical data acquired during the ANTITHESIS cruises highlight that the sinistral strike‐slip Bunce Fault develops along the vertical, long ...
