Slab Gap‐Related Intraplate Magmatism as a Proxy of Maximum Flat Slab Extent in Patagonia
Abstract Establishing the frontal extent of ancient flat subduction events from the geologic record can be challenging. This difficulty arises because magmatic activity in the arc typically ceases during complete slab flattening, and other meaningful proxies are usually absent. To address this issue, we examine early Paleocene intraplate magmatic units

Abstract We determine the first P‐wave azimuthal and radial anisotropy tomography beneath the Caribbean and its adjacent regions. The Cocos and Atlantic Plates are imaged as high‐velocity (high‐V) zones down to ∼1,600 km depth and they have subducted independently beneath the Caribbean Plate.

Crustal deformation, the earthquake cycle, and models of viscoelastic flow in the asthenosphere [PDF]
The crustal deformation patterns associated with the earthquake cycle can depend strongly on the rheological properties of subcrustal material. Substantial deviations from the simple patterns for a uniformly elastic earth are expected when viscoelastic ...

Deep lithospheric dynamics beneath the Sierra Nevada during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic as inferred from xenolith petrology [PDF]
Peridotite xenoliths erupted in late Miocene basalts (~8 Ma) in the central Sierra Nevada sample a lithosphere that is vertically stratified in terms of age and thermal history.

Abstract The formation of wide, magma‐starved continent–ocean transition (COT) zones remains incompletely understood. We use 2‐D thermo‐mechanical numerical experiments, coupling hydrous mantle melting with parameterized crustal accretion, to explore controls on magmatic lag: the delay between continental crustal break‐up and steady oceanic crustal ...

The Role of Volatiles in Reactive Melt Transport in the Asthenosphere [PDF]
Experimental studies of mantle petrology find that small concentrations of water and carbon dioxide have a large effect on the solidus temperature and distribution of melting in the upper mantle.

New Insights Into the Cooling of the Oceanic Lithosphere From Surface‐Wave Tomographic Inferences
Abstract How oceanic plates cool and thicken with age remains a subject to debate, with several thermal models supported by apparently contradictory data. Combining a novel imaging technique that balances resolution and uncertainty with finite‐frequency surface‐wave measurements, we build tomographic model SS3DPacific to revisit the cooling style of ...

Long‐period magnetotelluric (MT) data can be used to interpret upper mantle temperature, hydrogen content, and the presence of partial melt, all of which strongly influence mantle viscosity. We have collected the first long‐period MT data in Svalbard and
