An introductory review of the thermal structure of subduction zones: III—Comparison between models and observations
PE van Keken, CR Wilson - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 - Springer
The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of the

Earthquakes track subduction fluids from slab source to mantle wedge sink
Subducting plates release fluids as they plunge into Earth's mantle and occasionally rupture
to produce intraslab earthquakes. It is debated whether fluids and earthquakes are directly …

Slab to back-arc to arc: Fluid and melt pathways through the mantle wedge beneath the Lesser Antilles
Volatiles expelled from subducted plates promote melting of the overlying warm mantle,
feeding arc volcanism. However, debates continue over the factors controlling melt …

[HTML][HTML] Mantle wedge temperatures and their potential relation to volcanic arc location
The mechanisms underpinning the formation of a focused volcanic arc above subduction
zones are debated. Suggestions include controls by:(i) where the subducting plate releases …

[HTML][HTML] Imaging slab-transported fluids and their deep dehydration from seismic velocity tomography in the Lesser Antilles subduction zone
Volatiles play a pivotal role in subduction zone evolution, yet their pathways remain poorly
constrained. Studying the Lesser Antilles subduction zone can yield new constraints, where …

The nature of subduction system in the Neoarchean: Magmatic records from the northern Yangtze Craton, South China
The Neoarchean is an important era during which plate tectonics began to operate widely
on Earth. The style of plate tectonics in the Neoarchean should be different but poorly …

[HTML][HTML] 101 geodynamic modelling: how to design, interpret, and communicate numerical studies of the solid Earth
Geodynamic modelling provides a powerful tool to investigate processes in the Earth's crust,
mantle, and core that are not directly observable. However, numerical models are inherently …

Attenuation in the mantle wedge beneath super-volcanoes of the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
D Eberhart-Phillips, S Bannister… - Geophysical Journal …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
SUMMARY The Taupo Volcanic Zone has a 120-km-long section of rhyolitic volcanism,
within which is a 60-km-long area of supervolcanoes. The underlying subducted slab has …

A Three‐Field Formulation for Two‐Phase Flow in Geodynamic Modeling: Toward the Zero‐Porosity Limit
Two‐phase flow, a system where Stokes flow and Darcy flow are coupled, is of great
importance in the Earth's interior, such as in subduction zones, mid‐ocean ridges, and …
