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.

Plume‐Induced Subduction Initiation: Single‐Slab or Multi‐Slab Subduction? [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 AbstractInitiation of subduction following the impingement of a hot buoyant mantle plume is one of the few scenarios that allow breaking the lithosphere and recycling a stagnant lid without requiring any preexisting weak zones. Here, we investigate factors controlling the number and shape of retreating subducting slabs formed by plume‐lithosphere ...

Nature, 2019 A hidden carbon cycle exists inside Earth. Every year, megatons of carbon disappear into subduction zones, affecting atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen over Earth’s history. Here we discuss the processes that move carbon towards subduction zones and transform it into fluids, magmas, volcanic gases and diamonds.

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.

Granite subduction: Arc subduction, tectonic erosion and sediment subduction
Gondwana Research, 2009 Abstract Continental growth has been episodic, reflecting the episodic nature of mantle dynamics as well as surface dynamics of the Earth, the net result of which is exhibited by the present mantle with two huge reservoirs of TTG rocks, one on the surface continents and the other on the D″ layer on the Core-Mantle Boundary (CMB).

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.

Wet subduction versus cold subduction
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 In situ X‐ray diffraction study of post‐spinel transformation in hydrous peridotite (2 wt.% H2O) indicates that the phase boundary is shifted to higher pressures by 0.6 GPa relative to anhydrous peridotite at 1473 K, whereas, it shows no obvious shift at high temperature around 1873 K. A linear equation for the boundary is P (GPa) = −0.002 T (K) + 26.3,

Ocean-continent subduction cannot be initiated without preceding intra-oceanic subduction!
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The formation of new subduction zones is a key element of plate tectonics and the Wilson cycle, and many different controlling mechanisms have been proposed to initiate subduction.

Aseismic ridge subduction and flat subduction: Insights from three-dimensional numerical models
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 Flat subduction can significantly influence the distribution of volcanism, stress state, and surface topography of the overriding plate. However, the mechanisms for inducing flat subduction remain controversial.
