Serpentinites and serpentinites within a fossil subduction channel: La Corea mélange, eastern Cuba [PDF]
Geologica Acta, 2011 A variety of metaultramafic (serpentinite) rocks in La Corea mélange, Sierra de Cristal, eastern Cuba, show differences in chemical, textural and mineralogical characteristics demonstrating a variety of protoliths.

Accretion versus erosion and sediment transfer balance near the subduction interface [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. GéoscienceThe nature and amount of sediment transferred from one plate to the other near the subduction interface partly determines the tectonic and seismogenic regime of a margin.

Evolving temperature field in a fossil subduction channel during the transition from subduction to collision (Tauern Window, Eastern Alps) [PDF]
Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 2020 We investigate the evolution of the three‐dimensional thermal structure of a palaeo‐subduction channel exposed in the Penninic units of the central Tauern Window (Eastern Alps).

Ophiolite mélange zone records exhumation in a fossil subduction channel
Geology, 2007 Recent models propose that the exhumation of high-pressure rocks occurs by means of return flow inside a low-viscosity channel of serpentinite situated between the plates.

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.

Transient Permeability of a Deep‐Seated Subduction Interface Shear Zone
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Slow slip and tremor is observed along many subduction margins and is commonly linked to fluid pressure variations and migration. Accurate estimates of porosity and permeability around subduction megathrust shear zones are vital for understanding fluid ...

Channel flow, tectonic overpressure, and exhumation of high-pressure rocks in the Greater Himalayas [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2018 The Himalayas are the archetype of continental collision, where a number of long-standing fundamental problems persist in the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS): (1) contemporaneous reverse and normal faulting, (2) inversion of metamorphic grade, (3 ...

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 ...

Recent Crustal Deformation in West-Central South America [PDF]
, 2003 I use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to create maps of crustal deformation along the coast and within the volcanic arc of central South America. I image deformation associated with six subduction zone earthquakes, four volcanic centers,
