Evolution of the Zagros sector of Neo-Tethys: Tectonic and magmatic events that shaped its rifting, seafloor spreading and subduction history
The evolution of the Neo-Tethys realm had a significant impact on the Phanerozoic
paleogeography of the Iran Plateau. However, there remains significant debate regarding …

Timescales of subduction initiation and evolution of subduction thermal regimes
Subduction zones are first-order features of plate tectonics on Earth, yet the mechanisms by
which subduction initiates remain enigmatic and controversial. Here, we reappraise the …

Shattered veins elucidate brittle creep processes in the deep slow slip and tremor region
Abstract Deep Slow Slip and Tremors (SSTs) are a combination of transient clusters of
tectonic tremors and slow slip associated with extremely elevated fluid pressures. SSTs are …

High‐precision U‐Pb zircon dating of late magmatism in the Samail ophiolite: A record of subduction initiation
Understanding the tectonic setting in which ophiolites form is necessary to determine how
they can be used to study ocean spreading and subduction zone processes. Here, we …

The North Sistan orogen (Eastern Iran): Tectono-metamorphic evolution and significance within the Tethyan realm
Abstract The Sistan orogen (Eastern Iran) separates the Afghan and Lut continental blocks
and stretches along∼ 700 km from north to south, at a high angle with respect to other …

We investigate the late Cretaceous blueschist-facies (480° C-1.8 GPa) segment of the
Zagros suture zone, a well-preserved block-in-matrix paleo-subduction channel. We aim to …

Long-term evolution of a plume-induced subduction in the Neotethys realm
The head of a mantle plume can weaken the oceanic lithosphere through the combined
action of its buoyancy forces and excess temperature, which eventually induces intra …
