Subduction Duration and Slab Dip
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

Control of Subduction Zone Age and Size on Flat Slab Subduction
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Flat slab subduction is an enigmatic style of subduction where the slab attains a horizontal orientation for up to several hundred kilometers below the base of the overriding plate.

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.
