Initiation of Subduction Along Oceanic Transform Faults: Insights From Three-Dimensional Analog Modeling Experiments

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Three-dimensional analog experiments are employed to explore how self-sustaining subduction may initiate along an oceanic transform fault. The models include a realistic spatial distribution of plate thickness, strength, and buoyancy of the lithosphere ...

The Role of N2 as a Geo-Biosignature for the Detection and Characterization of Earth-like Habitats [PDF]

, 2019
Since the Archean, N2 has been a major atmospheric constituent in Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen is an essential element in the building blocks of life, therefore the geobiological nitrogen cycle is a fundamental factor in the long term evolution of both ...

Subduction initiation by thermal–chemical plumes: Numerical studies

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2008
Abstract Prior suggestions for the initiation of subduction have included sediment loading, compression, and plate reconfiguration as potential triggers. Here, we investigate the possibility of subduction initiation by the interaction of the lithosphere with a buoyant mantle plume.

Deconvolving the pre-Himalayan Indian margin – tales of crustal growth and destruction [PDF]

, 2018
The metamorphic core of the Himalaya is composed of Indian cratonic rocks with two distinct crustal affinities that are defined by radiogenic isotopic geochemistry and detrital zircon age spectra.

Forearc Variability and the Geochemical Diversity of Suprasubduction Zone Ophiolites: Insights From the Leka Ophiolite Complex, Norway

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
New whole‐rock major and trace element geochemistry from the Leka Ophiolite Complex in Norway is presented and compared to the geochemical evolution and proposed tectonomagmatic processes recorded in the Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana system.

A Giant Impact Origin for the First Subduction on Earth

Geophysical Research Letters
Hadean zircons provide a potential record of Earth's earliest subduction 4.3 billion years ago. It remains enigmatic how subduction could be initiated so soon after the presumably Moon‐forming giant impact (MGI).

An analytical study of initial subduction of the plate based on a bibliometric analysis method spanning 1995–2024

Frontiers in Earth Science
Subduction zones constitute a fundamental element of plate tectonic theory, with the initial subduction phase representing a critical but poorly constrained transitional stage in the development of mature subduction systems. Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer
