Geological Journal, EarlyView.U–Pb isotope and trace element geochemistry of apatite from carbonatites of Peshawar Plain Alkaline Igneous Province, western Himalaya shows Permo‐Carboniferous magmatism, an additional magmatic pulse during Cretaceous, and post‐magmatic hydrothermal/metasomatism during Oligocene. ABSTRACT U–Pb isotope and trace element geochemistry of apatite combined

, 2009 Subduction is a major process that plays a first-order role in the dynamics of the Earth. The sinking of cold lithosphere into the mantle is thought by many authors to be the most important source of energy for plates driving forces.

Onset of double subduction controls plate motion reorganisation
Nature CommunicationsFace-to-face double subduction systems, in which two oceanic plates subduct toward each other, are essential elements of plate tectonics. Two subduction zones in such systems are typically uneven in age and their spatially and temporally variable ...

Rheological control of Wadati-Benioff zone seismicity [PDF]
, 1988 Intermediate and deep focus earthquakes in Wadati-Benioff zones are thought to occur in the cold interiors of downgoing slabs which are significantly stronger than the warmer mantle.

Geological Journal, EarlyView.Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...

Geological Journal, EarlyView.New zircon ages reveal that lacustrine sedimentation initiated in the Late Miocene (Messinian), revising earlier Pliocene age assignments. The study results support the interpretation of the northern BFSZ as a broad left‐lateral transtensional shear zone rather than a discrete sinistral fault or simple extensional graben array.

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of the physical and chemical processes that occur at active convergent plate margins. These include magma generation and related arc volcanism, shallow and deep seismicity, and

Structure and Propagation of Mesoscale Cyclonic Eddies in the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Between 1993 and 2022, 1386 cyclonic eddies were identified in the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence, one of the most energetic regions of the South Atlantic. While most eddies dissipated locally, a smaller number of individuals, more energetic, and longer lived propagated predominantly south‐westward and north‐eastward, driven by topographic constraints and ...
