The subduction plate interface: Rock record and mechanical coupling (from long to short timescales)
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 …

Subduction initiation triggered by collision: A review based on examples and models
G Yang - Earth-Science Reviews, 2022 - Elsevier
Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with
different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …

Forced subduction initiation recorded in the sole and crust of the Semail Ophiolite of Oman
Subduction zones are unique to Earth and fundamental in its evolution, yet we still know little
about the causes and mechanisms of their initiation. Numerical models show that far-field …

Timescales of subduction initiation and evolution of subduction thermal regimes
Subduction zones are first-order features of plate tectonics on Earth, yet the mechanisms by
which subduction initiates remain enigmatic and controversial. Here, we reappraise the …

Differentiating induced versus spontaneous subduction initiation using thermomechanical models and metamorphic soles
X Zhou, I Wada - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Despite the critical role of subduction in plate tectonics, the dynamics of its initiation remains
unclear. High-temperature low-pressure metamorphic soles are vestiges of subduction …
