Relationships Between Upper-Plate Structure, Mantle Wedge Melting, and Fore-Arc Sliver Transport in the Nicaraguan Subduction Zone

The Seismic Record
This study images the base of the upper-plate lithosphere in the Nicaraguan subduction zone using common conversion point stacking of Sp phases and explores the relationships between deep upper-plate structure, subduction zone melting processes, and the ...

Plume–Lithosphere Interaction and the Role of the Mid‐Lithospheric Discontinuity in Craton Delamination

Geophysical Research Letters
We present results from thermo‐mechanical numerical modeling of interactions between thermal, thermo‐compositional, and purely compositional (hydrous) mantle plumes, and a rheologically layered lithosphere containing a mid‐lithospheric discontinuity (MLD)

Intraslab stress heterogeneity and continental mantle faulting revealed by the 2006 Pingtung offshore earthquake doublet

Communications Earth & Environment
The impact of lithospheric rheology and subduction dynamics on intraslab stress and earthquake characteristics, as well as the cause of the scarcity of continental mantle earthquakes remain debated.
