Global back-arc extension due to trench-parallel mid-ocean ridge subduction
Subduction of young seafloors straddling mid-ocean ridges (MOR) is an inevitable
consequence of plate tectonics. Surprisingly, this process correlates globally with prolonged …

Cenozoic eastward growth of the Tibetan Plateau controlled by tearing of the Indian slab
Abstract Formation of the Tibetan Plateau is generally ascribed to the Cenozoic India–Asia
collision. However, the origin of along-strike deformation of the Indian mantle lithosphere …

Quantifying slab sinking rates using global geodynamic models with data-assimilation
Recent tomography-based tectonic (tomotectonic) reconstructions provide important new
insights on past subduction processes. However, some of these exercises violate key …

Lunar cumulate mantle overturn: a model constrained by ilmenite rheology
Lunar cumulate mantle overturn has been proposed to explain the abundances of TiO2 and

Formation of East Asian Stagnant Slabs Due To a Pressure‐Driven Cenozoic Mantle Wind Following Mesozoic Subduction
The extensive fast seismic anomalies in the mantle transition zone beneath East Asia are
often interpreted as stagnant Pacific slabs, and a reason for the widespread tectonics since …

A newly discovered Late‐Cretaceous East Asian flat slab explains its unique lithospheric structure and tectonics
The existence of historical flat slabs remains debated. We evaluate past subduction since
