Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

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.

On the initiation of subduction zones
pure and applied geophysics, 1989 Analysis of the relation between intraplate stress fields and lithospheric rheology leads to greater insight into the role that initiation of subduction plays in the tectonic evolution of the lithosphere. Numerical model studies show that if after a short evolution of a passive margin (time span a few tens of million years) subduction has not yet ...

Control of Subduction Zone Age and Size on Flat Slab Subduction
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Flat slab subduction is an enigmatic style of subduction where the slab attains a horizontal orientation for up to several hundred kilometers below the base of the overriding plate.

TerraceM-2: A Matlab® Interface for Mapping and Modeling Marine and Lacustrine Terraces
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 The morphology of marine and lacustrine terraces has been largely used to measure past sea- and lake-level positions and estimate vertical deformation in a wealth of studies focused on climate and tectonic processes.

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 ...

Subduction Duration and Slab Dip
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 The dip angles of slabs are among the clearest characteristics of subduction zones, but the factors that control them remain obscure. Here, slab dip angles and subduction parameters, including subduction duration, the nature of the overriding plate, slab

Elastic Anisotropy of Lizardite at Subduction Zone Conditions
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Subduction zones transport water into Earth's deep interior through slab subduction. Serpentine minerals, the primary hydration product of ultramafic peridotite, are abundant in most subduction zones. Characterization of their high‐temperature elasticity,

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 ...
