Aegean tectonics: Strain localisation, slab tearing and trench retreat
We review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean–Anatolia region and discuss strain
localisation there over geological times. From Late Eocene to Present, crustal deformation in …

Tectonic significance of serpentinites
At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

The Betic-Rif arc and its orogenic hinterland: a review
The Betic-Rif arc is one of the smallest and tightest orogenic arcs on Earth, and together with
its extensional hinterland, the Alborán Domain, it formed between two colliding continents …

[HTML][HTML] A review of analogue modelling of geodynamic processes: Approaches, scaling, materials and quantification, with an application to subduction experiments
We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …

Shear heating induced lithospheric-scale localization: Does it result in subduction?
Even though it is a well-established fact that the Earth is currently in a plate-tectonics mode,
the question on how to “break” lithospheric plates and initiate subduction remains a matter of …

Fabric development as the key for forming ductile shear zones and enabling plate tectonics
LGJ Montési - Journal of Structural Geology, 2013 - Elsevier
Lithospheric deformation on Earth is localized under both brittle and ductile deformation
conditions. As high-temperature ductile rheologies are fundamentally strain-rate hardening …

Thermomechanical implications of sediment transport for the architecture and evolution of continental rifts and margins
Erosion and deposition redistribute mass as a continental rift evolves, which modifies crustal
loads and influences subsequent deformation. Surface processes therefore impact both the …

Lower crustal strength controls on melting and serpentinization at magma‐poor margins: Potential implications for the South Atlantic
Rifted continental margins may present a predominantly magmatic continent‐ocean
transition (COT), or one characterized by large exposures of serpentinized mantle. In this …
