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

TerraceM-2: A Matlab® Interface for Mapping and Modeling Marine and Lacustrine Terraces
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 The morphology of marine and lacustrine terraces has been largely used to measure past sea- and lake-level positions and estimate vertical deformation in a wealth of studies focused on climate and tectonic processes.

What Controls Maximum Magnitudes of Giant Subduction Earthquakes?
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Giant earthquakes with magnitudes above 8.5 occur only in subduction zones. Despite the developments made in observing large subduction zone earthquakes with geophysical instruments, the factors controlling the maximum size of these earthquakes are still

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Platinum-group elements (PGE) and gold are a promising tool to assess the processes of mantle melting beneath the subduction zones. However, fractionation processes in magmas inevitably overwrite the initial metal budgets of magmas, making constraints on

Dynamic evolution of changbaishan volcanism in Northeast China illuminated by machine learning
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Previous studies propose that there is a mantle upwelling that generated the Cenozoic basalts in Changbaishan. However, the dominant source and mechanism of the mantle upwelling remains highly debated.

Melting of subducted sediments reconciles geophysical images of subduction zones
Nature Communications, 2021 AbstractSediments play a key role in subduction. They help control the chemistry of arc volcanoes and the location of seismic hazards. Here, we present a new model describing the fate of subducted sediments that explains magnetotelluric models of subduction zones, which commonly show an enigmatic conductive anomaly at the trenchward side of volcanic ...

Back to full interseismic plate locking decades after the giant 1960 Chile earthquake
Nature Communications, 2018 Great megathrust earthquakes arise from the sudden release of strain accumulated during centuries of interseismic plate convergence. Here, the authors reconstruct interseismic strain accumulation since the 1960 Chile earthquake, finding a transient ...

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Analysing Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and other trace elements together with stable isotope data in poorly preserved belemnites can provide valuable insights into early diagenetic pathways, water‐interaction processes, and even potential redox conditions.

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Comparisons of Lower‐Middle Permian Shanxi and Lower Shihezi formations from the North Ordos Basin reveal that different types and percentages of volcanic detritus induced by active magmatic cycles can significantly change diagenetic evolution and favourable reservoirs.
