Exhumed fault zones offer insights into deformation processes associated with earthquakes
in unparalleled spatial resolution; however it can be difficult to differentiate seismic slip from …

Multiple episodes of deformation during the tectonic evolution of orogenic belts and ancient
subduction-accretion complexes cause obfuscation of primary block-in-matrix fabric of …

Many geological and geophysical investigations, particularly the Deep Sea Drilling Project,
have shown that convergent plate margins are highly diverse features. For example, at some …

Mélanges represent a significant component of collisional and accretionary orogenic belts
and occur widely around the world. Since its first introduction and use, the term has evolved …

The subduction-channel model predicts five geologically and geophysically distinctive types
of convergent plate margin. They differ primarily in the proportions of incoming sediment and …

Earthquakes do not extend updip along the plate interface at most subduction zones all of
the way to the plate boundary at the trench axis or deformation front. Rather, the shallowest …

Episodic tremor and slow slip (ETS) occurs in the transition zone between the locked
seismogenic zone and the deeper, stably sliding zone. Actual mechanisms of ETS are …

The Alps are amongst the best subduction archives in the world, with abundant blueschists
and eclogites preserving fragments of mantle, gabbros, thinned continental margin and …

The terms mélange and broken formation have been used in different ways in the literature.
The lack of agreement on their definition often leads to confusion and misinterpretations. An …

Steady state models of overgrowth and vein formation are developed using kinetic data for
quartz dissolution and precipitation and estimates of fluid advection, pore‐fluid and grain …
