Release of mineral-bound water prior to subduction tied to shallow seismogenic slip off Sumatra [PDF]
Plate-boundary fault rupture during the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman subduction earthquake extended closer to the trench than expected, increasing earthquake and tsunami size.

Modeling of contribution of the Late Cretaceous-Miocene sediments of the Makran accretionary wedge to the petrogenesis of basalts from Makran volcanic arc, SE Iran [PDF]
Introduction Makran geological province of SE Iran is an east-west trending mountain range related to the Cretaceous-to-recent subduction of the Indian oceanic lithosphere beneath the southeastern edge of the Eurasian plate (McCall, 1997; Saccani et al.,

Tectonics of the Dalrymple Trough and uplift of the Murray Ridge (NW Indian Ocean) [PDF]
International audienceThe Dalrymple Trough is a 150-km-long, 30-km-wide basin located at the northern termination of the Owen Fracture Zone (OFZ), which is the present-day active India-Arabia plate boundary.

Interaction between accretionary thrust faulting and slope sedimentation at the frontal Makran accretionary prism and its implications for hydrocarbon fluid seepage [PDF]
Using high‐resolution seismic profiles and other geophysical data, collected during R/V Meteor Cruise M74/2, we investigate the distribution patterns of shallow sediments, their structure and deformation processes, and their role in the migration, accumulation and seepage of hydrocarbon‐rich fluids.

Ridge subduction at an erosive margin - the collision zone of the Nazca Ridge in southern Peru [PDF]
The 1.5-km-high, obliquely subducting Nazca Ridge and its collision zone with the Peruvian margin have been imaged by wide-angle and reflection seismic profiles, swath bathymetry, and gravity surveying.

3-D lithospheric structure and regional/residual Bouguer anomalies in the Arabia-Eurasia collision (Iran) [PDF]
The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components.

Morphotectonics of the central Muertos thrust belt and Muertos Trough (northeastern Caribbean) [PDF]
Multibeam bathymetry data acquired during the 2005 Spanish R/V Hespérides cruise and reprocessed multichannel seismic profiles provide the basis for the analysis of the morphology and deformation in the central Muertos Trough and Muertos thrust belt ...

Backstop geometry and accretionary mechanics of the Sunda margin [PDF]
The convergent Sunda margin off Indonesia displays all geological features characteristic of an accretion-dominated subduction zone. A combined interpretation of prestack depth-migrated seismic reflection data and velocity information gained from ...
