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 ...

Seismic Velocity of Chlorite Under High Pressure and Temperature and Implications for the Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Chlorite is thought to be one of the major water‐carrying phases in subduction zones, both within the slab and in the mantle wedge. Its presence has previously been linked to common seismological observations at subduction zones, including P and S wave anisotropy as well as high VP/VS ratios (>1.8) in the mantle wedge.

Imaging the Alpine Collision With Seismic Radial Anisotropy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Alpine region and the adjacent Northern Apennines (NA) and Northern Dinarides record the complex tectonic evolution associated with the collision between the Eurasian and Adriatic plates. We combine Rayleigh and Love surface waves from ambient noise and earthquake data recorded at over 3,300 seismic stations to construct a high‐resolution ...

Differences in Mesozoic–Cenozoic Structural Deformation Between the Northern and Southern Parts of the East China Sea Shelf Basin and Their Dynamic Mechanisms

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The East China Sea Shelf Basin (ECSSB) and its adjacent areas, as key regions of the ocean–continent transition zone, have been affected by multiple complex plate collisions, subduction, and back-arc tension since the Mesozoic Era.

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

Probing the Elastic Anisotropy of Schistose Rocks West of the Tauern Window (Eastern Alps, Austria): The Largest Homogeneous Volume

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The anatomy of orogens is difficult to decipher as structural information is usually limited to surface and seismic data. Seismic properties are directionally dependent on anisotropic minerals, especially phyllosilicates. Due to tectonic complexity, the effect of anisotropy in seismic data is difficult to determine.

Deep Crustal Magma‐Water Interaction During Oceanic Core Complex Termination of the Godzilla Megamullion in the Parece Vela Basin

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Oceanic Core Complexes (OCCs) in back‐arc basins are not as thoroughly investigated, and their termination processes remain poorly understood. The Godzilla Megamullion is the largest known ceased OCC on Earth, yet magmatic and hydrothermal records from its termination are lacking.

Characterizing Incoming Cocos Plate Structure Outboard of the Guerrero Gap and Adjacent Segments Offshore Mexico: Implications for Along‐Strike Variations in Megathrust Slip Behavior

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Megathrust slip behavior in subduction zones can vary along‐strike, yet the mechanisms driving this variability remain uncertain. The Middle America trench offshore Mexico provides an ideal setting to investigate the structural controls on megathrust slip behavior.

Characterizing the Forearc Basement and Subducting Structures of the Northern Ecuadorian Margin

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We present 2D P‐wave velocity (Vp) models from the northern Ecuadorian subduction zone, north of the Carnegie Ridge. Data were collected during the HIPER2 3D wide‐angle seismic experiment, both onshore and offshore. Key seismic profiles were manually picked to determine P‐wave first‐arrival times, which were used for a traveltime tomographic ...

Geochemistry of volcanic rocks from the Sunda Arc [PDF]

, 2013
Geochemical analyses of igneous rocks can provide valuable information about processes, element fluxes, and rock lithologies not evident at the surface.
