Abstract Tectonic carbon degassing is an important contributor to the global carbon cycle. South Eastern Europe is an active extensional tectonic region. This is the result of intense geodynamic events related to the closure of the Tethys Ocean, whose remnants include an ophiolite orogenic belt and the Vardar megasuture.

Abstract The relationship between the Proto‐Tethys and Paleo‐Tethys is still debated. Some researchers believe that the Paleo‐Tethys opened after the Proto‐Tethys closed, while others argue that they are the same ocean with two stages of subduction. We present field geology, geochemical, and geochronological data to support the latter interpretation ...

Abstract Studies of exhumed subduction shear zones indicate that metamorphism and metasomatism of the oceanic lithosphere influence the composition, structure, and rheology of megathrust faults, particularly deep along the plate boundary (>30 km). However, less is known about the effects that fluid‐mediated chemical reactions have on the rheological ...

Abstract The northeastern Caribbean plate boundary (NCPB) includes the Puerto Rico‐Virgin Islands (PRVI) microplate that is bounded by oblique subduction zones in the Muertos and Puerto Rico Trenches, and by the Mona Rift, and the Anegada Passage rifts.
