Influence of Inherited Rifted Margin Architecture on Continental Collision Dynamics
Abstract Continental collision is a key process in lithospheric evolution, driving mountain building, crustal thickening, and supercontinent assembly. Within the Wilson cycle, collision marks the final stage following rifting, ocean spreading, and subduction.

Abstract In subduction zones, the locked seismogenic zone is bordered by an upper and a lower transition zone. In these transition zones, deformation is primarily accommodated by an interplay of diffuse viscous deformation within a weak matrix and brittle deformation in stiffer bands and blocks.

Abstract The fate of an oceanic plate that has been subducted over an extended period of time involves slab break‐off, which can occur either simultaneously across the entire slab or locally, creating a tear that propagates sub‐horizontally. These processes are thought to explain various geological observations, such as the evolution of foreland basins,

Temperature and Dynamic Effects of the Plate Boundary Shear Zone During Subduction
Abstract The plate boundary in a subduction zone is a narrow, weak shear zone, which transitions from brittle to ductile deformation with increasing depth. The exhumed rock record documents the important role of metamorphism, fluid release, and mixing of compositionally distinct materials in controlling the physical properties of the shear zone.

Are Estimates of Lower Continental Crust Bulk Composition Biased Due to Seismic Anisotropy?
Abstract Most seismic inferences on the bulk composition of the lower continental crust are based on P‐wave velocities inferred from seismic wide‐angle data, for which the direction of propagation in the target region is sub‐horizontal. Given the likely presence of anisotropy in many parts of the lower continental crust, these estimates could be biased
