Effects of rheological stratification and elasticity of lithosphere on subduction initiation
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The breaking and bending of rigid and elastic lithosphere was probably essential for the initiation of plate subduction, although how this occurred is still poorly understood.

Can subduction initiation at a transform fault be spontaneous? [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 We present an extensive parametric exploration of the feasibility of “spontaneous” subduction initiation, i.e., lithospheric gravitational collapse without any external forcing, at a transform fault (TF).

Analogue modelling of the initiation of subduction [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2005 SUMMARY We report the results of experiments on the initiation of subduction, using stratified analogue models in a large centrifuge, where the experiments are driven only by the enhanced gravity of the centrifuge without the effect of external lateral stresses. The scaled density of the stratified components resembles that of the asthenosphere and the

Polarity-reversal subduction zone initiation triggered by buoyant plateau obstruction [PDF]
, 2022 Oceanic lithosphere worldwide is younger than ca. 200 Myr, suggesting that it must have been globally recycled by the recurrent formation of new subduction zones since the existence of subduction on Earth.

Impact of upper mantle convection on lithosphere hyperextension and subsequent horizontally forced subduction initiation [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 Many plate tectonic processes, such as subduction initiation, are embedded in long-term (>100 Myr) geodynamic cycles often involving subsequent phases of extension, cooling without plate deformation and convergence. However, the impact of upper mantle

Influence of magma-poor versus magma-rich passive margins on subduction initiation [PDF]
, 2022 International audienceWe present a new numerical modelling study of subduction initiation at (hyper-extended) magma-poor and magma-rich continental passive margins.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 A specific configuration of the global subduction system is the parallel triple subduction. The widely accepted example of parallel triple subduction is the New Guinea region, including a northward dip at the New Britain Trench (NBT), a southward dip at ...
