The Monviso ophiolitic Massif (Western Alps), a section through a serpentinite subduction channel [PDF]
Journal of the Virtual Explorer, 2004 The exhumation of subducted lithosphere requires a mechanically weak zone at the interface between the subduction plane and the rigid overlying mantle peridotites with a viscosity greater than 10 20 Pa.s. At shallow depths (< 40-50 km) blueschists are exhumed in accretionary wedge along the interface between the subducting plate and the overriding ...

Resubduction of lawsonite eclogite within a serpentinite-filled subduction channel [PDF]
Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 2020 Translating burial and exhumation histories from the petrological and geochronological record of high-pressure assemblages in subduction channels is key to understanding subduction channel processes. Convective return flow, either serpentinite or sediment hosted, has been suggested as a potential mechanism to retrieve rocks from significant depths and ...

Forced Return Flow Deep in the Subduction Channel, Syros, Greece [PDF]
Tectonics, 2020 AbstractWe present the results of a detailed structural study in the Cycladic Blueschist Unit at Fabrika on Syros Island, Greece, and discuss their significance for tectonic processes at the subduction interface. Some samples record top‐to‐the‐west shear reflecting prograde (burial), peak high‐pressure (HP) and initial decompression (exhumation ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Long-term slow slip events along the Nankai trough delayed by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, Japan
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 The Global Navigation Satellite System network in Japan detected transient crustal deformation along the Nankai trough, Japan, from June 2018. Time-dependent inversion analysis shows that a long-term slow slip event in northern Hyuga-nada Sea along the ...

Exhumation of (ultra-)high-pressure terranes: concepts and mechanisms [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2013 The formation and exhumation of high and ultra-high-pressure, (U)HP, rocks of crustal origin appears to be ubiquitous during Phanerozoic plate subduction and continental collision events.

Spatial Variations of Tectonic Uplift - Subducting Plate Effects on the Guerrero Forearc, Mexico
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Uplift is the predominant factor controlling fluvial systems in tectonically deforming regions. Mountains along subduction zones force incision, aggradation, or sinuosity modifications, showing differential uplift and variations in erosion rates, in ...

Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]
, 2011 West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.
