Abstract The Buck Creek ultramafic complex is a fragment of oceanic cumulate emplaced into the lower Laurentian continental crust during Ordovician Taconic subduction. We document olivine fabrics in the relatively pristine dunites preserved from peak metamorphic conditions of ∼850°C and 1.0–1.4 GPa confining pressure.

Sensitivity Analysis of the Thermal Structure Within Subduction Zones Using Reduced‐Order Modeling
Abstract Megathrust earthquakes are the largest on Earth, capable of causing strong ground shaking and generating tsunamis. Physical models used to understand megathrust earthquake hazard are limited by existing uncertainties about material properties and governing processes in subduction zones.

Abstract Detailed geochronology from two compositionally distinct generations of dikes and sills intruded into the Alta metamorphic aureole, north‐central Utah, complement previous geochronologic studies from the Alta stock, providing information on the timing of magmatism and the nature of emplacement.
