Self‐consistent subduction initiation induced by mantle flow
Terra Nova, 2015AbstractMantle circulation in planets with strongly temperature‐dependent viscosity results in stagnant‐lid convection. It is fundamental to understand how this stagnant‐lid regime can change into a plate‐like convection regime as on the present‐day Earth. Here, we use 2D numerical models to study subduction initiation from an initial stagnant lid with

Lithos, 2015
We herein reappraise the pressure–temperature (PT) evolution of the high-pressure and low-temperature (HP–LT) Tavsanli zone (western Turkey) in order to (i) better characterize rock units exhumed along a cooling subduction interface, from birth to steady state and (ii) constrain exhumation and detachment dynamics, as well as mechanical coupling between

Subduction, collision and initiation of hominin dispersal
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2009Subduction is the main driving force of plate tectonics controlling the physiography of the Earth. The northward subduction of the Sinai plate was interrupted during the Early Pleistocene when the Eratosthenes Seamount began to collide with the Cyprian arc.

Initiation of intracontinental subduction in the Himalaya
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1978Independent arguments based on topographic stress and crustal strength give upper limits of 200 bars and 300 bars, respectively, for the average shear stress on the intracontinental thrust fault that formed the Himalaya. According to either a one‐dimensional or a two‐dimensional fault model, such stresses could not have produced the Himalayan granites ...
