Cl stable isotopes in subduction zones

open access: yes, 2007
Chlorine stable isotope ratios (δ 37Cl) in pore fluids, serpentines, and solid samples from three subduction zones, the Nankai Trough (Ocean Drilling Program Legs 131 and 190), Costa Rica (ODP Legs 170 and 205), and Mariana Forearc (ODP Leg 195) provide ...

A Phase‐Field Model for Quasi‐Dynamic Rupture Nucleation and Propagation of In‐Plane Faults

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Computational modeling of faulting processes is an essential tool for understanding earthquake mechanics but remains challenging due to the structural and material complexities of fault zones. The phase‐field method has recently enabled unified modeling of fault propagation and off‐fault damage within a fracture‐mechanics‐based framework ...

Three-dimensional variations of the slab geometry correlate with earthquake distributions at the Cascadia subduction system

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Variations in seismicity are observed at subduction zones, but the oceanic sides remain poorly resolved. Here, the author presents tomographic results of the Cascadia subduction system demonstrating that there are significant variations of the oceanic ...

Discovery and Fine‐Scale Mapping of Hadal Xenophyophore Habitat in the Nova Canton Trough, Central Pacific Ocean

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Discovery and fine‐scale mapping of a hadal xenophyophore field: submersible video transects and photogrammetry enable semi‐automated delineation of xenophyophores, revealing their abundance, spatial organisation, structural complexity and contribution to habitat heterogeneity at ~8000 m depth.

Horizontal mantle flow controls subduction dynamics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
It is generally accepted that subduction is driven by downgoing-plate negative buoyancy. Yet plate age –the main control on buoyancy– exhibits little correlation with most of the present-day subduction velocities and slab dips. “West”-directed subduction

A Model of Plate Bending at the Transition Zone From Subduction to Collision in Northernmost Manila Trench

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
It is not rare to observe subduction zones transferring into collision zones. However, it is poorly understood the lateral variation in flexural deformation.

Subduction Zones of the Caribbean : the sedimentary, magmatic, metamorphic and ore-deposit records UNESCO/iugs igcp Project 546 Subduction Zones of the Caribbean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The International Union of Geosciences (IUGS) and UNESCO IGCP project 546 Subduction Zones of the Caribbean (http://www.ugr.es/~agcasco/igcp546/) was launched in 2007 and scheduled to be completed by the end of the current year 2011.

What Do We Mean When We Say Epistemic Agency? How Considering Multiple Facets of Epistemic Cognition Can Clarify a Murky Theoretical Construct

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Opening space for students to help shape knowledge building practices in the classroom—that is, epistemic agency—is necessary to achieve a variety of goals held by the science education community. As such, many scholars have explored how students might be positioned with, perceive, and take up epistemic agency.

Subduction Zone Obliquity Dictates Global Trench‐Parallel Inner Forearc Deformation

open access: yesAGU Advances
Although subduction zones are characterized by convergence, the upper plates of subduction zones exhibit a diverse range of deformation styles that are often inconsistent with regional convergence.
