[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Accretionary orogens through Earth history
Accretionary orogens form at intraoceanic and continental margin convergent plate
boundaries. They include the supra-subduction zone forearc, magmatic arc and back-arc …

Forearc ages reveal extensive short-lived and rapid seafloor spreading following subduction initiation
Abstract The Izu–Bonin–Mariana (IBM) forearc contains a record of a widespread and short-
lived subduction initiation event in the early Eocene. We present new high-precision ages to …

To understand subduction initiation, study forearc crust: To understand forearc crust, study ophiolites
Articulating a comprehensive plate-tectonic theory requires understanding how new
subduction zones form (subduction initiation). Because subduction initiation is a …

The causes of continental arc flare ups and drivers of episodic magmatic activity in Cordilleran orogenic systems
Continental arcs in Cordilleran orogenic systems display episodic changes in magma

Multiscale magmatic cyclicity, duration of pluton construction, and the paradoxical relationship between tectonism and plutonism in continental arcs
The close relationship between crustal magmatism, an expression of heat dissipation, and
tectonics, an expression of stress dissipation, leads to the question of their mutual …
