Subduction Duration and Slab Dip [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 The dip angles of slabs are among the clearest characteristics of subduction zones, but the factors that control them remain obscure. Here, slab dip angles and subduction parameters, including subduction duration, the nature of the overriding plate, slab

Horizontal mantle flow controls subduction dynamics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 It is generally accepted that subduction is driven by downgoing-plate negative buoyancy. Yet plate age –the main control on buoyancy– exhibits little correlation with most of the present-day subduction velocities and slab dips. “West”-directed subduction

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Marine terraces of the last interglacial period along the Pacific coast of South America (1° N–40° S) [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2021 Tectonically active coasts are dynamic environments characterized by the presence of multiple marine terraces formed by the combined effects of wave erosion, tectonic uplift, and sea-level oscillations at glacial-cycle timescales.

Fast Holocene slip and localized strain along the Liquiñe-Ofqui strike-slip fault system, Chile
Scientific Reports, 2021 In active tectonic settings dominated by strike-slip kinematics, slip partitioning across subparallel faults is a common feature; therefore, assessing the degree of partitioning and strain localization is paramount for seismic hazard assessments.

Thermal evolution of Andean iron oxide–apatite (IOA) deposits as revealed by magnetite thermometry
Scientific Reports, 2021 Magnetite is the main constituent of iron oxide–apatite (IOA) deposits, which are a globally important source of Fe and other elements such as P and REE, critical for modern technologies.
