Burial and exhumation in a subduction wedge : mutual constraints from thermo-mechanical modelin and natural P-T-t data (Sch. Lustrés, W. Alps) [PDF]
The dynamic processes leading to synconvergent exhumation of high-pressure low-temperature (HP-LT) rocks at oceanic accretionary margins, as well as the mechanisms maintaining nearly steady state regime in most accretion prisms, remain poorly understood.

Thermal regime of the Costa Rican convergent margin: 1. Along-strike variations in heat flow from probe measurements and estimated from bottom-simulating reflectors [PDF]
21 pages, 9 figures, 1 tableThe thermal structure of convergent margins provides information related to the tectonics, geodynamics, metamorphism, and fluid flow of active plate boundaries. We report 176 heat flow measurements made with a violin bow style

Analogue Experiments of Subduction vs. Collision Processes: Insights for the Iranian Tectonics
We investigate, using laboratory experiments, the behavior of subduction-collision transition. These experiments help understanding of the tectonics at the transition between the Zagros collision ranges and the Makran emerged accretionary prism in south ...

a geophysical and geological study in the southern Gulf of Mexico and at the frontal Makran Accretionary prism, Pakistan [PDF]
The major objective of the study is to investigate how near-surface sediment structures and other geological aspects control the nature and occurrence of cold fluid seepage. Mainly high resolution multichannel seismic data and swatch bathymetry data were

Seamounts are topographic highs of the oceanic plates, and they are passively carried toward convergent margins where they may interact with the frontal part of the subduction complexes, modifying their shape and influencing the operating tectonic processes.

The previous chapters have shown that bubble-releasing seeps occur at different oceanographic and plate-tectonic settings, at different seafloor morphologies, at different water depths, in or outside of the gas-hydrate stability zone. Furthermore, bubble-
