How Aseismic Ridges Modify the Dynamics of Free Subduction: A 3-D Numerical Investigation

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The subduction of positively buoyant features has been implicated in the development of flat and shallow dipping slabs, the formation of cusps in trench geometry, and the cessation of associated arc magmatism.

Observing mesoscale eddy effects on mode-water subduction and transport in the North Pacific. [PDF]

, 2016
While modelling studies suggest that mesoscale eddies strengthen the subduction of mode waters, this eddy effect has never been observed in the field.

Petrogenetic and geochemical characteristics of some auriferous granitoids in the Kumasi Basin, Ghana: Implications for geodynamic settings and controls of orogenic gold mineralization in the Edikan Gold Mine

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Fobinso granitoids are granodiorites, while the Esuajah granitoids are granites based on their mineralogical composition. The granitoids are generally enriched in LILE and LREE than HFSE, MREE, and HREE, indicating mixing with crustal sources during their evolution.

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]

, 2004
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

Experimental Characterization of a Full‐Scale Stair System Detailed to Achieve Seismic Resiliency

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stair systems are the primary means of egress in and out of a building during and after an earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to detail these critical nonstructural systems such that they remain operable during and after an earthquake of moderate to high levels of intensity.

A reduced subduction graph and higher multiplicity in S_n transformation coefficients

, 2006
Transformation coefficients between {\it standard} bases for irreducible representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ and {\it split} bases adapted to the $S_{n_1} \times S_{n_2} \subset S_n$ subgroup ($n_1 +n_2 = n$) are considered.

Geological Screening for CO2 Storage in Deep Saline Aquifers in the Lower Mainland British Columbia (LMBC), Canada

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs are prime candidates for CO2 storage, but feasibility assessments remain limited in regions with little oil and gas activity, such as the Lower Mainland of British Columbia (LMBC), Canada. This study evaluates the CO2 storage potential of the Georgia Basin strata beneath the LMBC, focusing on three ...

Deep lithospheric structures along the southern central Chile Margin from wide-angle P-wave modellilng [PDF]

, 2009
Crustal- and upper-mantle structures of the subduction zone in south central Chile, between 42 degrees S and 46 degrees S, are determined from seismic wide-angle reflection and refraction data, using the seismic ray tracing method to calculate minimum ...

Pacific subduction control on Asian continental deformation including Tibetan extension and eastward extrusion tectonics

Nature Communications, 2019
The India-Asia collision has formed the highest mountains on Earth and is thought to account for extensive intraplate deformation in Asia. The prevailing explanation considers the role of the Pacific and Sunda subduction zones as passive during ...
