Abstract The Great Valley basin of California (USA) is an archetypal forearc basin, yet the
timing, structural style, and location of basin development remain controversial. Eighteen of …

Subduction zones serve as carbon recycling centers, where vast amassments of geologic
carbon accrete or subduct through thermogenic gas windows over millions of years. We …

The propagation of slab break-off (slab tearing) is usually attributed to laterally variable plate
convergence systems with a spatial transition between simultaneous oceanic subduction …

Stratigraphic and structural constraints on the initiation and early evolution of the Cascadia
convergent margin, following accretion of the igneous Siletzia terrane at 50–45 Ma, remain …

Basin modeling is commonly used for the hydrocarbon potential evaluation of
underexplored areas, taking into account the full basin history to assess its thermicity and …

The age and properties of detrital zircon grains in a forearc basin provide crucial information
on the history of convergent plate margins. These data can be used to constrain provenance …

We investigate the potential fluid migration process in a plate subduction zone on the basis
of integrated active-source seismic imaging from multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection and …

High amplitude bottom simulating reflections (BSRs) interpreted in seismic reflection data
are common proxy indicators for gas hydrates, while the spatial relationship of BSRs with …

The long‐term state of stress in the subduction forearc depends on the balance between
margin‐normal compression due to the plate‐coupling force and the margin‐normal tension …

We analyse deformation bands related to horizontal contraction with an intermittent period of
horizontal extension in Miocene turbidites of the Whakataki Formation south of Castlepoint …
