Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

Construction of the Andes has been governed largely by fluctuating contractional, neutral,
and extensional tectonic regimes during differing degrees of mechanical coupling along the …

As the archetype of mountain building in subduction zones, the Central Andes has
constituted an excellent example for investigating mountain-building processes for decades …

Continental arcs in Cordilleran orogenic systems display episodic changes in magma
production rate, alternating between flare ups (70–90 km 3 km− 1 Myr− 1) and lulls (< 20 km …

The Andean margin is the plate-tectonic paradigm for long-lived, continuous subduction, yet
its geology since the late Mesozoic era (the past 100 million years or so) has been far from …

During evolution of the South Sandwich subduction zone, which has consumed South
American Plate oceanic lithosphere, somehow continental crust of both the South American …

We explore the connections between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in
the Atlas of Morocco. In response to compressional forces and strain localization, this …

Subduction of young seafloors straddling mid-ocean ridges (MOR) is an inevitable
consequence of plate tectonics. Surprisingly, this process correlates globally with prolonged …

Abstract The widespread Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous (J2-K1) intraplate tectonism of
East Asia has recently been proposed to reflect the flat subduction of the Izanagi plate …
