Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Exhumation of high‐pressure metamorphic rocks in a subduction channel: A numerical simulation [PDF]
Tectonics, 2002 High‐pressure metamorphic rocks provide evidence that in subduction zones material can return from depths of more than 100 km to the surface. The pressure‐temperature paths recorded by these rocks are variable, mostly revealing cooling during decompression, while the time constraints are generally narrow and indicate that the exhumation rates can be on

Inferring the Paleo‐Location of Proto‐Arc Magmas During Subduction Infancy in the Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsSubduction zones are one of the principal drivers of the modern‐day plate tectonics, but the processes that develop as incipient subduction zones mature are yet to be understood.

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

Orphaning Regimes: The Missing Link Between Flattened and Penetrating Slab Morphologies
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Slab orphaning is a newly discovered phenomenological behavior, where the slab tip breaks off at the top of the lower mantle (~660 km depth) and is abandoned by its parent slab.

Seismic visibility of a deep subduction channel – insights from numerical simulation of high-frequency seismic waves emitted from intermediate depth earthquakes [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2014 Return flow in a deep subduction channel (DSC) has been proposed to explain rapid exhumation of high pressure–low temperature metamorphic rocks, entirely based on the fossil rock record.

Seismological structure of the Carpathian-Pannonian region of central Europe [PDF]
, 2010 The extensional Pannonian Basin is set within the convergent arc of the Alpine-Carpathian mountain system in central Europe. Various models have been proposed as mechanisms to drive extension within this collisional setting.
