Subduction Initiation at the Corner of Small Oceanic Basins
In Southeast Asia, emerging subduction zones often appear to begin at the corners of small oceanic basins, which have a triangular‐indenter continent–ocean boundary geometry.

Frictional Behavior of Input Sediments to the Hikurangi Trench, New Zealand
The Hikurangi subduction zone hosts shallow slow‐slip events, possibly extending to the seafloor. The mechanisms allowing for this behavior are poorly understood but are likely a function of the frictional properties of the downgoing seafloor sediments ...

On the Scales of Dynamic Topography in Whole‐Mantle Convection Models
Mantle convection shapes Earth's surface by generating dynamic topography. Observational constraints and regional convection models suggest that surface topography could be sensitive to mantle flow for wavelengths as short as 1,000 and 250 km ...
