Evolving force balance during incipient subduction [PDF]
, 2004 Nearly half of all active subduction zones initiated during the Cenozoic. All subduction zones associated with active back arc extension have initiated since the Eocene, hinting that back arc extension may be intimately associated with an interval ...

Subduction Zones: A Short Review
, 2023 Subduction zones are locations on Earth where the oceanic material of one tectonic plate dives below the material (oceanic or continental) of another tectonic plate into the mantle. They are the most complex and dramatic tectonic features on our home planet and have been the subject of intense investigations, some of which pre-date the advent of the ...

A multiphase seismic investigation of the shallow subduction zone, southern North Island, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2001 The shallow structure of the Hikurangi margin, in particular the interface between the Australian Plate and the subducting Pacific Plate, is investigated using the traveltimes of direct and converted seismic phases from local earthquakes.

Horizontal mantle flow controls subduction dynamics [PDF]
, 2017 It is generally accepted that subduction is driven by downgoing-plate negative buoyancy. Yet plate age –the main control on buoyancy– exhibits little correlation with most of the present-day subduction velocities and slab dips. “West”-directed subduction

What Controls Maximum Magnitudes of Giant Subduction Earthquakes?
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Giant earthquakes with magnitudes above 8.5 occur only in subduction zones. Despite the developments made in observing large subduction zone earthquakes with geophysical instruments, the factors controlling the maximum size of these earthquakes are still

Numerical models of slab migration in continental collision zones [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2012 Continental collision is an intrinsic feature of plate tectonics. The closure of an oceanic basin leads to the onset of subduction of buoyant continental material, which slows down and eventually stops the subduction process.

Submergence and uplift associated with the giant 1833 Sumatran subduction earthquake: Evidence from coral microatolls [PDF]
, 1999 The giant Sumatran subduction earthquake of 1833 appears as a large emergence event in fossil coral microatolls on the reefs of Sumatra's outer-arc ridge.

Triggered seismicity associated with the 1990 Nicoya, Costa Rica, M-w=7.0 earthquake [PDF]
, 2009 The 25 March 1990 (M-w = 7.0) subduction megathrust earthquake that occurred offshore the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, produced a large number of aftershocks on the subduction plate interface as expected and preceded an unusual sequence of earthquakes ...

Nature Communications, 2017 In the Nankai subduction zone a low-velocity zone (LVZ) has been detected. Here, the authors present shear wave velocity profiles to show that low frequency earthquakes correlate with the distribution of the LVZ in the Nankai subduction zone.
