Insights from elastic thermobarometry into exhumation of high-pressure metamorphic rocks from Syros, Greece [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 Retrograde metamorphic rocks provide key insights into the pressure–temperature (P–T) evolution of exhumed material, and resultant P–T constraints have direct implications for the mechanical and thermal conditions of subduction interfaces.

(I) A Coupled Geochemical and Geodynamical Approach to Subduction Zone Modeling and (II) Development of Color in Greenish Quartz [PDF]
, 2008 (I) We couple a petrological model with a 2D thermal and variable viscosity flow model to describe and compare fundamental processes occurring within subduction zones.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Continental break‐up is an ingredient of plate tectonics and the Wilson cycle. During the evolution of the Tethyan Realm since the Paleozoic, a series of ribbon‐like (micro‐)continents are split from the Gondwana and drifted northwards to the Eurasian ...

Dynamics of intraoceanic subduction initiation: 1. Oceanic detachment fault inversion and the formation of supra-subduction zone ophiolites [PDF]
, 2015 Subduction initiation is a critical link in the plate tectonic cycle. Intraoceanic subduction zones can form along transform faults and fracture zones, but how subduction nucleates parallel to mid-ocean ridges, as in e.g., the Neotethys Ocean during the ...

Fate of Carbonates in the Earth’s Mantle (10-136 GPa)
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Earth carbon cycle shapes the evolution of our planet and our habitats. As a key region of carbon cycle, subduction zone acts as a sole channel transporting supracrustal carbonate rocks down to the mantle, balancing carbon budget between the Earth’s ...

Origin and consequences of western Mediterranean subduction, rollback, and slab segmentation [PDF]
, 2014 The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and how its subsequent evolution split up an originally coherent fore arc into circum ...

Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2021 The Posada Valley amphibolites in the inner zone of Variscan Sardinia are characterized by garnet porphyroblasts containing epidote, titanite, quartz, clinopyroxene, amphibole, and plagioclase concentrated in the garnet core.

Complex anisotropy beneath the Peruvian flat slab from frequency-dependent, multiple-phase shear wave splitting analysis [PDF]
, 2013 Flat or shallow subduction is a relatively widespread global occurrence, but the dynamics remain poorly understood. In particular, the interaction between flat slabs and the surrounding mantle flow has yet to be studied in detail.

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2023 At the southernmost part of the Ryukyu subduction zone, six long-offset multi-channel seismic profiles were collected across three forearc basins and the southern Ryukyu accretionary prism during the TAIGER experiment in 2009 and the TAICRUST project in ...

China Geology, 2021 : High/ultrahigh-pressure (HP/UHP) metamorphic complexes, such as eclogite and blueschist, are generally regarded as significant signature of paleo-subduction zones and paleo-suture zones.
