Uncoupled Histories in the Largest Continental Arc of North America: Goodeid Fishes and Their Gyrodactylid Parasites Influenced Differently by the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
• The Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) separates the Nearctic from the Neotropics. • TMVB's geology influenced diversification and distribution of endemic goodeid fishes. • Six neartic Gyrodactylus species infect goodeids within and north of the TMVB.

Onset of double subduction controls plate motion reorganisation

Nature Communications
Face-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 ...

Thermal impact of magmatism in subduction zones [PDF]

, 2017
Magmatism in subduction zones builds continental crust and causes most of Earth's subaerial volcanism. The production rate and composition of magmas are controlled by the thermal structure of subduction zones.

Microplate Tectonics Through Earth History and Across Solid Multispheres

Geological Society of China Bulletin, EarlyView.
The evolution of tectonic microplates throughout Earth´s history as well as the transitions between microplates across different solid spheres offers a novel approach to expanding the traditional plate tectonics theory. ABSTRACT The evolution of tectonic microplates throughout Earth's history as well as the transitions between microplates across ...

Ophiolites in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt record Cambrian subduction initiation processes

Communications Earth & Environment
Subduction initiation remains elusive because no present example exists. Ophiolites formed over nascent subduction zones in the past provide the key to constraining the processes of subduction initiation.

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

Lithium inputs to subduction zones

, 2004
We have studied the sedimentary and basaltic inputs of lithium to subduction zones. Various sediments from DSDP and ODP drill cores in front of the Mariana, South Sandwich, Banda, East Sunda and Lesser Antilles island arcs have been analysed and show ...

Afghanite: A New Silicate‐Matrix Reference Material for In Situ Halogen and Sulfur Microanalysis

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points A new silicate matrix reference material for in situ chlorine and sulfur determination. Homogeneous across all measured elements. No matrix effects for Cl when calibrating silicate matrices, in contrast to scapolite, which causes systematic Cl overestimation of up to 13%.

Explainable Intelligent Framework for Reliable Drilling Rate Prediction and Feature Selection in Complex Sedimentary Formations

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate prediction of the drilling rate of penetration (ROP) is crucial to optimizing drilling performance, wellbore stability, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing the overall cost of hydrocarbon exploration. This study focused on evaluating and comparing different machine learning models for ROP prediction and identifying the most

Mantle Dynamics in the Mediterranean and Plate Motion of the Adriatic Microplate: Insights From 3D Thermomechanical Modeling

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The motion of the Adriatic microplate is thought to be highly sensitive to the surrounding subduction zones and the convergence of Africa and Eurasia. However, our understanding of the mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean region and its effect on plate ...
