(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.

Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]
, 2011 West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.

Dynamic interactions between subduction zones
, 2021 A common feature of tectonic reconstructions is the migration of subduction zones and their interactions, resulting in complex tectonic patterns. Reduced migration rates, uplift, strong rotations, and slab break-off are all tectonics features commonly ...

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,

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

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.

Complex anisotropy beneath the Peruvian flat slab from frequency-dependent, multiple-phase shear wave splitting analysis [PDF]
, 2013 Flat or shallow subduction is a relatively widespread global occurrence, but the dynamics remain poorly understood. In particular, the interaction between flat slabs and the surrounding mantle flow has yet to be studied in detail.

Properties of the Subduction System in Mexico [PDF]
, 2011 This thesis presents seismic imaging results of the structure of the Mexican subduction zone using receiver function (RF) based on teleseismic P-to-S converted waves, in order to gain insight into the physical and chemical factors associated with ...
