Simple Kinematics of Subduction Zones [PDF]
International Geology Review, 2006 Two main types of subduction zones can be distinguished: (1) those where the subduction hinge migrates away from the upper plate; and (2) those in which the subduction hinge migrates toward the upper plate. Apart from a few exceptions, this distinction seems to apply particularly for W-directed subduction zones and E- or NE-directed subduction zones ...

The link between great earthquakes and the subduction of oceanic fracture zones [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2012 Giant subduction earthquakes are known to occur in areas not previously identified as prone to high seismic risk. This highlights the need to better identify subduction zone segments potentially dominated by relatively long (up to 1000 yr and more ...

(I) A Coupled Geochemical and Geodynamical Approach to Subduction Zone Modeling and (II) Development of Color in Greenish Quartz [PDF]
, 2008 (I) We couple a petrological model with a 2D thermal and variable viscosity flow model to describe and compare fundamental processes occurring within subduction zones.

Barium content of Archaean continental crust reveals the onset of subduction was not global
Nature Communications, 2022 Only subduction zone can produce Ba-rich TTG, representing a proxy for the onset of subduction. Statistical increases in Ba contents of Archaean TTGs reveal the diachronous onset of subduction from regional at 4 Ga to globally complete after 2.7 ...

Slab pull, slab weakening, and their relation to deep intra-slab seismicity [PDF]
, 2005 Subduction zone seismicity is highly variable. Great earthquakes occur at few subduction zones around the world, with significant variation in size and frequency of deep events. Interactions between overriding and subducting plates and slab pull strength

Recent Crustal Deformation in West-Central South America [PDF]
, 2003 I use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to create maps of crustal deformation along the coast and within the volcanic arc of central South America. I image deformation associated with six subduction zone earthquakes, four volcanic centers,

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 ...

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.

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.
