Abstract Accretionary complexes are key archives of subduction zone processes, preserving records of forearc growth, deformation, and tectonic reorganization. The Chugach–Kodiak accretionary complex of southern Alaska records Jurassic to Cretaceous underplating at shallow to intermediate subduction conditions. The McHugh Complex, an imbricated sequence

Abstract An updated approach to seismically constrained modeling of gravity data reveals two broad, NW‐trending low‐density zones in the mantle lithosphere beneath the Canadian Cordillera. The low‐density zones coincide with a shallow lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary (LAB), a shallow Curie‐point depth, and the location of Quaternary volcanoes.

The Impact of Orogenic Inheritance on Rifted Margin Formation
Abstract Many rifted margins form within pre‐existing orogenic belts, emphasizing the significance of structural, thermal, and compositional inheritance in shaping rift dynamics. However, a key unresolved question is how these different types of orogenic inheritance individually influence rift evolution.

Abstract Recent earthquakes along the shallow portion of the Hikurangi subduction zone (the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake sequence, New Zealand) indicate that faults within the overriding plate of subduction zones may exhibit uncharacteristically large surface displacements relative to their fault length. Whether this style of upper‐plate faulting is common
