The influence of carbonate platform interactions with subduction zone volcanism on palaeo-atmospheric CO2 since the Devonian [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2018 The CO2 liberated along subduction zones through intrusive/extrusive magmatic activity and the resulting active and diffuse outgassing influences global atmospheric CO2.

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

Scientific Reports, 2022 Fluids in subduction zones play a key role in controlling seismic activity, drastically affecting the rheology of rocks, triggering mineral reactions, and lowering the effective stress.

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 ...

Back to full interseismic plate locking decades after the giant 1960 Chile earthquake
Nature Communications, 2018 Great megathrust earthquakes arise from the sudden release of strain accumulated during centuries of interseismic plate convergence. Here, the authors reconstruct interseismic strain accumulation since the 1960 Chile earthquake, finding a transient ...

Fluid‐Mediated Mass Transfer Between Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks in Subduction Zones
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Metasomatic reaction zones between mafic and ultramafic rocks exhumed from subduction zones provide a window into mass‐transfer processes at high pressure.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The potential mechanisms that drive the behavior of subducted oceanic plates at the 660-km discontinuity are subject to debate. Here we conduct logistic regression analysis and model selection to determine the key subduction-zone parameters in natural ...

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

Nature Communications, 2021 The mechanism of subduction initiation is a key to modern plate tectonics. Here, using numerical modeling and geological observations, the authors find that the majority of active and paleo subduction zones with metamorphic soles likely formed during ...

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 Initiation of new subduction zones is an integral part of Earth's plate tectonics regime. It is generally accepted that the negative buoyancy of sufficiently old oceanic lithosphere provides the primary driving force for subduction initiation.
