Investigating the kinematics of mountain building in Taiwan from the spatiotemporal evolution of the foreland basin and western foothills [PDF]

, 2006
The Taiwanese range has resulted from the collision between the Luzon volcanic arc and the Chinese continental margin, which started about 6.5 Myr ago in the north, and has since propagated southward.

Uplift in the Fiordland Region, New Zealand: Implications for Incipient Subduction [PDF]

, 2002
Low-temperature thermochronometry reveals regional Late Cenozoic denudation in Fiordland, New Zealand, consistent with geodynamic models showing uplift of the overriding plate during incipient subduction.

Plume-Induced Subduction Initiation: Revisiting Models and Observations

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Subduction initiation induced by a hot and buoyant mantle plume head is unique among proposed subduction initiation mechanisms because it does not require pre-existing weak zones or other forces for lithospheric collapse.

Rheological control of Wadati-Benioff zone seismicity [PDF]

, 1988
Intermediate and deep focus earthquakes in Wadati-Benioff zones are thought to occur in the cold interiors of downgoing slabs which are significantly stronger than the warmer mantle.

Post-collisional Tertiary–Quaternary mafic alkalic magmatism in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a review [PDF]

, 2004
Mafic alkalic volcanism was widespread in the Carpathian–Pannonian region (CPR) between 11 and 0.2 Ma. It followed the Miocene continental collision of the Alcapa and Tisia blocks with the European plate, as subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism was

Neogene plate tectonic reconstructions and geodynamics of North Island sedimentary basins: Implications for the petroleum systems [PDF]

, 2006
Although the modern Australia-Pacific plate boundary through New Zealand is relatively straight, there have been significant changes in its geometry during the Neogene. Within the North Island sector there has been a fundamental transition from an Alpine

Joint Geodynamic‐Geophysical Inversion Suggests Passive Subduction and Accretion of the Ontong Java Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
In this study, we for the first time applied a joint geodynamic‐geophysical inversion approach to oceanic plateau subduction models, and compared the subduction style and corresponding topography and Bouguer gravity of two representative subduction ...

A window into the complexity of the dynamic rupture of the 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake [PDF]

, 2011
The 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake, recorded by over 1000 near-field stations and multiple large-aperture arrays, is by far the best recorded earthquake in the history of seismology and provides unique opportunities to address fundamental issues in ...

The age and origin of the central Scotia Sea [PDF]

, 2010
Opening of the Drake Passage gateway between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans has been linked in various ways to Cenozoic climate changes. From the oceanic floor of Drake Passage, the largest of the remaining uncertainties in understanding this opening is

Self-replicating subduction zone initiation by polarity reversal

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
New subduction zones can form via a self-replicating process, without the need for external forcing, when buoyant blocks reach pre-existing subduction trenches and cause polarity reversals, according to 3D numerical ...
