Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Deep-seated slow slip and tremor (SST), including slow slip events, episodic tremor and
slip, and low-frequency earthquakes, occur downdip of the seismogenic zone of numerous …

Subduction zones are tectonic expressions of convergent plate margins, where crustal rocks
descend into and interact with the overlying mantle wedge. They are the geodynamic system …

The maximum-pressure Psingle bondT conditions (P max–T) and prograde Psingle bondT
paths of exhumed subduction-related metamorphic rocks are compared to predictions of …

Tectonic reconstructions of Southeast Asia have given rise to numerous controversies that
include the accretionary history of Sundaland and the enigmatic tectonic origin of the proto …

Ocean plate stratigraphy (OPS) is a term used to describe the sequence of sedimentary and
volcanic rocks deposited on oceanic crust substratum from the time it forms at a spreading …

Abstract The East Kunlun Orogen, the northwestern part of the Central China Orogenic Belt,

The interface between subducting oceanic slabs and the hanging wall is a structurally and
lithologically complex region. Chemically disparate lithologies (sedimentary, mafic and …

The timing of the final welding of the southern Altaids to construct Pangea is a matter of
debate which has led to considerable uncertainty regarding the configuration of northeast …
