Accretionary complex: Geological records from oceanic subduction to continental deep subduction
Science China Earth Sciences, 2020Accretionary complex was usually formed by offscraping of the subducting crustal material over the trench and thus often referred to as subduction zone melange. The structure, composition and forming process of accretionary wedges can provide important insights into the evolution history of ocean basin, ocean-continent material cycle, continental ...

Some thermomechanical aspects of the subduction of continental lithosphere
Tectonics, 1992On the basis of thermal and mechanical modeling, it is concluded that the subduction of continental lithosphere can lead to its breakup and the formation of a new plate contact within the middle or lower crust. As a result, (part of) the subducting continental crust is transferred to the upper plate.

Thermo-mechanical modeling subduction of continental lithosphere
2000In this thesis I use two-dimensional thermo-chemical mantle convection models to investigate the deformation of the continental lithosphere that follows the oceanic lithosphere into the subduction zone. The models account for the compositional buoyancy of the crustal layers by considering lithospheric plates that consist of a low-density crustal layer ...
