Deep lithospheric structures along the southern central Chile Margin from wide-angle P-wave modellilng [PDF]

, 2009
Crustal- and upper-mantle structures of the subduction zone in south central Chile, between 42 degrees S and 46 degrees S, are determined from seismic wide-angle reflection and refraction data, using the seismic ray tracing method to calculate minimum ...

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.

Sedimentation record in the Konkan-Kerala Basin: implications for the evolution of the Western Ghats and the Western Indian passive margin [PDF]

, 2007
The Konkan and Kerala Basins constitute a major depocentre for sediment from the onshore hinterland of Western India and as such provide a valuable record of the timing and magnitude of Cenozoic denudation along the continental margin.

Giant Porphyry Copper Deposits Caused by a Slab Jamming in the Mantle Transition Zone

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two giant porphyry copper deposits in the Southern Central Andes formed during the Miocene–Pliocene transition when a bend in the subducting Juan de Fernández hotspot chain jammed in the mantle transition zone, causing mega‐scale slab‐kinking. This geometry implies mechanical resistance that caused East–West compression and eventually a thrust‐

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean

, 1996
High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...

3D Quantification of Subsidence During Pyrenean Retro‐Wedge Initiation: Role of Structural and Thermal Inheritance on Hyperextended Margin Inversion (Aquitaine Basin)

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...

Trench topography in subduction zones: A reflection of the plate decoupling depth

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Subduction of lithospheric plates produces narrow, linear troughs (trench) in front of the overriding plates at the convergent boundaries. The trenches show a wide variation in their topographic characteristics, such as width, vertical depth, and ...

Post-collisional mantle delamination in the Dinarides implied from staircases of Oligo-Miocene uplifted marine terraces

Scientific Reports, 2021
The Dinarides fold-thrust belt on the Balkan Peninsula resulted from convergence between the Adriatic and Eurasian plates since Mid-Jurassic times. Under the Dinarides, S-wave receiver functions, P-wave tomographic models, and shear-wave splitting data ...
