A transdisciplinary and community-driven database to unravel subduction zone initiation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Despite numerous advances in our understanding of subduction since the theory of plate tectonics was established, the mechanisms of subduction zone initiation remain highly controversial.

Makran Subduction Zone: A Review and Synthesis
GeosciencesThis review synthesizes existing research to elucidate the factors driving the distinct tectonic behaviors in the western and eastern Makran subduction zone, focusing on seismic activity, uplift rate, convergence rate, coupling, and subduction angle. The

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Geosciences, 2022 We discussed the peculiarities of the seismic cycle in Aleutian subduction zone, characterized by an oblique subduction setting. It was shown that the orientation of the plate convergence vector relative to the subduction zone axis can have a significant

The Seismic Record, 2021 Geological records of subduction earthquakes, essential for seismic and tsunami hazard assessment, are difficult to obtain at transitional plate boundaries, because upper-plate fault earthquake deformation can mask the subduction zone signal.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 To better understand the structure and process of the Cocos plate subduction, we obtained the first Pn velocity and anisotropy model of the uppermost mantle in southern Mexico using the Pn tomography method and new ISC‐EHB data.

Upper mantle melt caused by a subducted slab in the Indian-Eurasian continental subduction zone
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 A low-velocity layer atop the mantle transition zone has been extensively observed worldwide. In subduction zones, this layer is widely explained as partial melting triggered by slab subduction on a regional or global scale. However, direct observational

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The transition of a passive continental margin into a subduction zone remains a hypothesis because few geological cases have been reported. The North Sulawesi subduction zone is a 5–9 myr system in Southeast Asia that has evolved from a passive ...

Body wave dispersion characteristics of regional deep earthquake at Southern Ryukyus subduction zone [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The convergent plate boundaries known as the subduction zone is the location where the cold, hydrate, and old oceanic plate subduct under the hot, dry, and young continental plate. The top of the oceanic plate, i.e. the oceanic crust usually is less than
