Heterogeneity‐Driven Localization and Weakening in Scaly Clays From a Fossil Accretionary Prism [PDF]
, 2023 In accretionary prisms, scaly clays structure might be the result of strain localization and weakening or strain delocalization and hardening. Therefore, it is not clear how they influence the mechanical behavior of the accretionary prism.

Décollement depth versus accretionary prism dimension in the Apennines and the Barbados [PDF]
Tectonics, 2003 Along representative cross sections of the Apennines and the Northern Barbados accretionary prisms, we measured the area, the décollement depth, the angle α of the upper envelope and the angle β of the dip of the regional monocline. The continental sections of the Apennines accretionary prism have a deeper décollement than the oceanic sections of the ...

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.

Slip-partitioning above a shallow, weak décollement beneath the Indo-Burman accretionary prism
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018 The Indo-Burman Ranges (IBR) are an ∼375 km wide accretionary prism that accommodates oblique convergence of the ∼13–20 km thick Ganges–Brahmaputra Delta on the Indian plate with the Shan Plateau to the east and Shillong massif to the north.

Pleistocene Mass Transport Deposits Off Barbados Accretionary Prism (Lesser Antilles) [PDF]
, 2016 Two Pleistocene mass transport deposits (MTDs), with volumes of thousands of km(3), have been identified from multi-channel seismic data in the abyssal plain at the front of the Barbados accretionary prism.

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.

Heat Flow Measurements over Bottom Simulating Reflectors, Offshore Southwestern Taiwan
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2006 The submarine accretionary wedge offshore of southwestern Taiwan consists of an intensively deformed upper slope and a lower slope characterized by mostly west-vergent anticlines and thrusts.

Evaluation of hydrogeologic properties of the Barbados accretionary prism: a synthesis of Leg 156 results [PDF]
, 1997 In situ and laboratory studies of permeability, conducted by Ocean Drilling Program scientists from Leg 156, provide constraints on parameters controlling the hydrogeologic system in the Barbados accretionary prism.

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 ...
