A global review and digital database of large-scale extinct spreading centers
Extinct mid-ocean ridges record past plate boundary reorganizations, and identifying their
locations is crucial to developing a better understanding of the drivers of plate tectonics and …

Tectonic and magmatic responses to the subduction of high bathymetric relief
G Rosenbaum, W Mo - Gondwana Research, 2011 - Elsevier
Subduction of high bathymetric relief, such as aseismic ridges and magmatic plateaus, is
considered to be responsible for dramatic changes in the dynamics and kinematics of the …

Subduction initiation at the Solomon back‐arc basin: Contributions from both island arc rheological strength and oceanic plateau collision
It is generally accepted that the subduction polarity reversal (SPR) results from the strong
collision of two plates. Yet, the SPR of the Solomon Back‐arc Basin is started in the “soft …

Three‐dimensional dynamics of hydrous thermal‐chemical plumes in oceanic subduction zones
G Zhu, TV Gerya, DA Yuen, S Honda… - Geochemistry …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Hydration and partial melting along subducting slabs can trigger Rayleigh‐Taylor‐like
instabilities. We use 3‐D petrological‐thermomechanical numerical simulations to …

A mistletoe tale: postglacial invasion of Psittacanthus schiedeanus (Loranthaceae) to Mesoamerican cloud forests revealed by molecular data and species …
Background Ecological adaptation to host taxa is thought to result in mistletoe speciation via
race formation. However, historical and ecological factors could also contribute to explain …

Large scale lithospheric detachment of the downgoing Cocos plate: The 8 September 2017 earthquake (Mw 8.2)
On 8 September 2017, a great earthquake (M w 8.2) took place in the Mexican subduction
zone in the Tehuantepec gap, where no large subduction earthquakes have taken place …
