Exhumation Processes in Oceanic and Continental Subduction Contexts: A Review [PDF]

, 2009
Although the exhumation of high pressure (HP) and ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks is an integral process in subduction, it is a transient process, likely taking place during the perturbation in subduction zones.

From subduction to collision and subduction again, the drivers of crustal-scale deformation in the Hellenides-Aegean region

Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2023
In the 60s, the Hellenic belt was taken as the “Geosyncline model”. Here we take a modern look at this Hellenic/Aegean region which as a concentrate encompasses all the main geodynamic processes known in orogens.

The Formation of Continental Fragments in Subduction Settings: The Importance of Structural Inheritance and Subduction System Dynamics [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
AbstractMicrocontinents and continental fragments are pieces of continental lithosphere, formed by extension and breakup, followed by plate boundary relocations. Microcontinents or continental fragments affiliated with passive margins are well documented, but those close to active margins are less studied.

Hot, Wide, Continental Back-arcs Explain Earth’s Enigmatic mid-Proterozoic Magmatic and Metamorphic Record

Tektonika, 2023
Higher than average thermobaric ratios (temperature/pressure) of metamorphic rocks and abundant ‘dry’ ferroan magmatism including massif anorthosite suites are two enigmatic features of the mid-Proterozoic (1.85–0.85 Ga) that have unclear origins.

Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]

, 2010
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

Subduction Initiation and Mafic Intrusions: Rethinking the South China Sea-Luzon Connection

CT Lilun yu yingyong yanjiu
The conventional view suggests that the subduction of the South China Sea plate beneath Luzon occurred due to the oceanic lithosphere’s high density, facilitating subduction initiation.

Continental subduction of Adria in the Apennines and relation with seismicity and hazard

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The subduction of continental lithosphere is a complex process because the buoyancy of the crust is higher than the oceanic and should resist sinking into the mantle.

Late paleozoic to early mesozoic provenance record of paleo-pacific subduction beneath South China [PDF]

, 2015
Northeast trending Yong'an Basin, southeast South China Craton, preserves a Permian-Jurassic, marine to continental, siliciclastic-dominated, retroarc foreland basin succession.

Buildup of a dynamically supported orogenic plateau: Numerical modeling of the Zagros/Central Iran case study

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
The Iranian plateau is a vast inland region with a smooth average elevation of c. 1.5 km formed at the rear of the Zagros orogen as a result of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision (i.e., over the last 30–35 Myr).
