Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

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.

Earth and Space Science, 2022 On 24 March 2021, an Mw 5.3 earthquake struck northwest Baicheng, located in the Kuqa fold‐and‐thrust belt (FTB), northwest China. In the current study, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data were used to investigate the associated fault ...

Introduction to subduction zones [PDF]
pure and applied geophysics, 1988 Subduction zones present many facades to those that observe them. From obvious features to obscure yet important processes, there are many aspects of subduction zones to observe and explain. Notable examples of obvious features are volcanoes, earthquakes, mountain belts, and deep sea trenches; while on the other hand, the unseen process of sediment ...

A role for subducted albite in the water cycle and alkalinity of subduction fluids [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 AbstractAlbite is one of the major constituents in the crust. We report here that albite, when subjected to hydrous cold subduction conditions, undergoes hitherto unknown breakdown into hydrated smectite, moganite, and corundum, above 2.9 GPa and 290 °C or about 90 km depth conditions, followed by subsequent breakdown of smectite into jadeite above 4.3

Evolution of Subduction Cusps From the Perspective of Trench Migration and Slab Morphology
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The geometries of trenches vary worldwide due to continuous plate boundary reorganization. When two trenches intersect to generate a corner, a subduction cusp is formed.

Subduction by Submesoscales [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2018 AbstractSeveral studies have demonstrated the relevance of submesoscales (SM) to the production of phytoplankton and the ocean absorption of anthropogenic CO2. One variable that thus far has not been fully quantified is the SM‐induced rates of subduction and obduction at the bottom of the mixed layer.

Elements, 2020 Fluids are essential to the physical and chemical processes in subduction zones. Two types of subduction-zone fluids can be distinguished. First, shallow fluids, which are relatively dilute and water rich and that have properties that vary between subduction zones depending on the local thermal regime.

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023 The convergent subduction zones and the divergent spreading ridges are essential tectonic units that are widely distributed in the South China Sea and the surrounding regions, governing the regional tectonic evolution.
