The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in seismic
tomography, and trace its origins from pioneering work in the early 1970s to its present …

Southeast Asia is located in an important regional geodynamic intersection zone
surrounded by inward subduction systems on three sides, consisting the largest and most …

It is well recognized that active arc volcanism at nearly all subduction zones requires
temperatures greater than 1200° C in the subarc mantle, despite the underthrusting cool …

The deployment of USArray during the last decade has produced dense sampling of the
central part of the North American continent with broadband seismic data. Regional …

Seismic data represent one of the most valuable resources for investigating the internal
structure and composition of the earth. One of the first people to deduce earth structure from …

When a mid-ocean spreading ridge subducts, it typically splits apart at depth to form two
tapered slab edges separated by asthenospheric mantle within a slab window. We examine …

A series of early Carboniferous volcanic rocks, ie, basalt, andesite, and dacite, occur in the
West Junggar. Zircon U–Pb isotopic data indicate that these rocks coevally erupted at 331 …

Virtually all subduction zones eventually interact with a spreading ridge, and this interaction
leads to a great diversity of tectonic processes in the vicinity of the triple junction. In the …

Forearc magmatic rocks were emplaced in a semicontinuous belt from Alaska to Oregon
from 62 to 11 Ma. U-Pb and 40Ar-39Ar dating indicates that the magmatism was concurrent …

Abstract The Northern Cordilleran slab window formed beneath western Canada
concurrently with the opening of the Californian slab window beneath the southwestern …
