Do submesoscale frontal processes ventilate the oxygen minimum zone off Peru?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 The Peruvian upwelling system encompasses the most intense and shallowest oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the ocean. This system shows pronounced submesoscale activity like filaments and fronts.

Seismic anisotropy and subduction in Southern Italy
, 2007 In the current work we present a large collection of shear wave splitting measurements in the Calabrian Arc-Tyrrhenian basin subduction system. For our analysis we used earthquakes recorded from 2003 to 2005 at the CAT/SCAN temporary network and at the ...

Onset of double subduction controls plate motion reorganisation
Nature CommunicationsFace-to-face double subduction systems, in which two oceanic plates subduct toward each other, are essential elements of plate tectonics. Two subduction zones in such systems are typically uneven in age and their spatially and temporally variable ...

Ophiolites in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt record Cambrian subduction initiation processes
Communications Earth & EnvironmentSubduction initiation remains elusive because no present example exists. Ophiolites formed over nascent subduction zones in the past provide the key to constraining the processes of subduction initiation.

Tomographic Imaging of Slab Segmentation and Deformation in the Greater Antilles
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 We present a new tomographic P wave model of the upper mantle in the east Caribbean region. The model was built using 3‐D finite frequency sensitivity kernels and ~20,000 teleseismic P and PP traveltime residuals from 535 events recorded across 130 ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The Calabrian Arc subduction, southern Italy, is a critical structural element in the geodynamic evolution of the central Mediterranean basin. It is a narrow, northwest-dipping slab bordered to the southwest by the Alfeo Fault System (AFS) and to the ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsIn the regime of plate tectonics, the subduction of an oceanic plate generally terminates with the collision and accretion of continental terranes. Then, a new subduction zone may form in the neighboring oceanic plates, which is defined as the terrane ...

, 1995 The physical and chemical processes that occur during the subduction of two converging tectonic plates have significant consequences, contributing to both the growth of the continental crust and the chemical and thermal evolution of the Earth's interior.

Neogene plate tectonic reconstructions and geodynamics of North Island sedimentary basins: Implications for the petroleum systems [PDF]
, 2006 Although the modern Australia-Pacific plate boundary through New Zealand is relatively straight, there have been significant changes in its geometry during the Neogene. Within the North Island sector there has been a fundamental transition from an Alpine
