Response of the mantle to flat slab evolution: Insights from local splitting beneath Peru [PDF]
The dynamics of flat subduction, particularly the interaction between a flat slab and the overriding plate, are poorly understood. Here we study the (seismically) anisotropic properties and deformational regime of the mantle directly above the Peruvian ...

Bloom compression alongside marine heatwaves contemporary with the Oregon upwelling season
Abstract Marine heatwave (MHW) events have led to acute decreases in primary production and phytoplankton biomass in the surface ocean, particularly at the mid latitudes. In the Northeast Pacific, these anomalous events have occasionally encroached onto the Oregon shelf during the ecologically important summer upwelling season.

Tectonic control on great earthquake periodicity in south-central Chile
Multi-millennial records of great megathrust earthquakes have highlighted differences in periodicity and recurrence behavior. Understanding tectonic processes responsible for these differences is relevant for fault mechanics and hazard models.

Continental Growth and Recycling in Convergent Orogens with Large Turbidite Fans on Oceanic Crust
Convergent plate margins where large turbidite fans with slivers of oceanic basement are accreted to continents represent important sites of continental crustal growth and recycling.

Subduction Evolution Controlled Himalayan Orogenesis: Implications from 3-D Subduction Modeling
Himalayan orogenesis remains enigmatic in terms of Tibetan Plateau geodynamics originating from the Cenozoic India–Eurasian continental collision. India underthrusts below Tibet to the Yarlung–Tsangpo suture, which has been identified as the northernmost

Upper- and mid-mantle interaction between the Samoan plume and the Tonga-Kermadec slabs [PDF]
Mantle plumes are thought to play a key role in transferring heat from the core\u2013mantle boundary to the lithosphere, where it can significantly influence plate tectonics. On impinging on the lithosphere at spreading ridges or in intra-plate settings,

Abstract The expansion of autonomous observation platforms offers vast opportunities for analyzing ocean ecosystems and their role in carbon export. As part of the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing campaign, we autonomously measured the productivity regimes in two contrasting end‐member ecosystem states.
