High Q ScS beneath the Ontong Java Plateau

Earth, Planets and Space, 2019
The Ontong Java Plateau (OJP) in the southwest Pacific is the largest oceanic large igneous provinces (LIP) on Earth. Detailed seismic structure of the plateau has not been understood well because of sparse seismic stations.

Assessing the Role of Water in Alaskan Flat‐Slab Subduction

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Low‐angle subduction has been shown to have a profound impact on subduction processes. However, the mechanisms that initiate, drive, and sustain flat‐slab subduction are debated.

Relationship between tectonic tremors and 3-D distributions of thermal structure and dehydration in the Alaska subduction zone

Scientific Reports, 2022
The Alaska subduction zone is characterized by a subducting oceanic plateau, which is referred to as the Yakutat terrane. Tectonic tremors occur in this zone, and there are few volcanoes above the subducted Yakutat terrane.

Oceanic plateau accretion for young oceanic plates: Numerical models of lithosphere dynamics with the example of Siletzia

The Siletzia oceanic plateau was accreted to the western margin of North America in the Eocene, marking the most recent accretion event in this area and the formation of the modern Cascadia subduction zone.

Natural Resource Endowments, Subsistence Agriculture, and Poverty in the Chhotanagpur Plateau [PDF]

The Chhotanagpur Plateau in Eastern India lies on the so-called Tribal belt and is one of the poorest regions of India. Beginning in 1998, the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata and the International Rice Research Institute began research to examine

Results of Gravity Observations Using a Superconducting Gravimeter at the Tibetan Plateau

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013
The tidal and nontidal gravity change characteristics in the Tibetan Plateau region were investigated using the continuous gravity measurements recorded with a superconducting gravimeter (SG) installed in Lhasa from December 8, 2009 to September 30, 2011.

Far-reaching effects of Tibetan warming amplification on polar sea‑ice retreat

Communications Earth & Environment
The polar regions are projected to warm faster than the global average, known as polar amplification, which have been extensively investigated. Warming amplification is also projected at high altitudes, particularly over the Tibetan Plateau.

Origin of the Aves Ridge and Dutch–Venezuelan Antilles: interaction of the Cretaceous ‘Great Arc' and Caribbean–Colombian Oceanic Plateau?

, 2016
In this paper we reassess the geochronology and geochemistry of three dredge hauls from the SE corner of the Aves Ridge (Caribbean Sea) originally sampled in 1968 by Duke University's R.V. Eastward.
