To understand subduction initiation, study forearc crust: To understand forearc crust, study ophiolites [PDF]
Lithosphere, 2012 Articulating a comprehensive plate-tectonic theory requires understanding how new subduction zones form (subduction initiation). Because subduction initiation is a tectonomagmatic singularity with few active examples, reconstructing subduction initiation is challenging.

Provenance history of a Late Triassic-Jurassic Gondwana margin forearc basin, Murihiku Terrane, North Island, New Zealand: petrographic and geochemical constraints [PDF]
, 2004 The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with ...

Contrasting carbonate depositional systems for Pliocene cool-water limestones cropping out in central Hawke's Bay, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2004 Pliocene limestone formations in central Hawke's Bay (eastern North Island, New Zealand) accumulated on and near the margins of a narrow forearc basin seaway within the convergent Australia/Pacific plate boundary zone.

Prolonged extension and subsidence of the Peruvian forearc during the Cenozoic [PDF]
, 2018 Ocean-continental subduction zones are commonly associated with compressional stress fields, which ultimately result in regional uplift of the overriding plate.

A fluid flow perspective on the diagenesis of Te Aute limestones [PDF]
, 2003 Pliocene cool-water, bioclastic Te Aute limestones in East Coast Basin, New Zealand, accumulated either in shelfal shoal areas or about structurally shallow growth fold structures in the tectonically active accretionary forearc prism.

IR investigation of peridotite from ODP-Leg125, Mariana-Izu-Bonin forearc
, 2021 Orthopyroxene was analyzed as a proxy for water in melt-depleted, supra-subduction-zone peridotite by polarized infrared radiation. Samples from Conical (site 779) and Torishima seamount (site 784), located c.

A serpentinite-hosted ecosystem in the Southern Mariana Forearc [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Several varieties of seafloor hydrothermal vents with widely varying fluid compositions and temperatures and vent communities occur in different tectonic settings. The discovery of the Lost City hydrothermal field in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge has stimulated interest in the role of serpentinization of peridotite in generating H

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Numerous normal‐faulting aftershocks in subduction forearcs commonly follow large megathrust earthquakes. Postseismic normal faulting has been explained by stress changes induced by the stress drop along the megathrust. However, details of forearc stress
