Reconfigurations of magmatic arcs through time have been recognized since pioneering works, describing inland and trenchward arc migrations or magmatic shut-off lasting for …
The architecture and mechanical properties of the subduction interface impact large‐scale subduction processes, including mass and volatile recycling, upper‐plate orogenesis, and …
Variation in the effective strength of the lithosphere allows for active plate tectonics and is permitted by different deformation mechanisms operating in the crust and upper mantle. The …
Several decades of field, geophysical, analogue, and numerical modeling investigations have enabled documentation of the wide range of tectonic transport processes in …

Examples of atypical syn-collisional wedges from offshore Sabah and Palawan, Indo-Burma Ranges, Gibraltar Arc, Banda Arc resemble accretionary prisms, but formed over subducted …
Abstract The Durkan Complex is a tectonic element of the Makran Accretionary Prism (SE Iran) that includes fragments of Late Cretaceous seamounts. In this paper, the results of map …
The active structures of the Iranian Makran, especially the presence of normal faults, vary laterally in the upper plate of the subduction zone, and their relationship with the deep …

To understand the seismic hazard of a subduction zone, it is necessary to know the geometry, location and mechanical characteristics of the interplate boundary below which …
In the Makran area, a wide accretionary wedge is originated by the north-dipping subduction of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. The rear of the accretionary wedge is represented …
