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 …

Mantle peridotites of ophiolites have traditionally been interpreted as fragments of residual
oceanic lithospheric mantle depleted by partial melting. However, recent petrological …

Back-arc basins are pivotal sites for the generation and consumption of oceanic lithosphere
in mature intra-oceanic convergent plate margins. However, the processes and mechanisms …

This contribution investigates mechanisms controlling subduction development and
stabilization over time (coined as' slabitization'), from a nascent slab to a mature slab …

How subduction-related magmatism starts at convergent plate margins is still poorly
understood. Here we show that boron isotope variations in early-formed boninites from the …

Understanding the tectonic setting in which ophiolites form is necessary to determine how
they can be used to study ocean spreading and subduction zone processes. Here, we …

This paper provides an overview of research on core from Oman Drilling Project Hole BT1B
and the surrounding area, plus new data and calculations, constraining processes in the …

Abstract The Semail Thrust in the Oman-UAE mountains is mapped along the base of the
Semail Ophiolite, a 10–15 km thick sequence of Cenomanian oceanic crust and upper …

Whether arc magmatism occurs above oceanic subduction zones is the forefront of studies
on convergent plate margins. The most important petrologic issue related to the evolution of …

The evolution of atmospheric CO 2 and the pH of the ocean can be reconstructed by the
boron isotopic composition (δ 11 B) of marine carbonates, which is influenced by the δ 11 B …
