How new subduction zones form is an emerging field of scientific research with important
implications for our understanding of lithospheric strength, the driving force of plate …

To address the question of the initiation and mechanisms involved in the process of
subduction zone formation, we explored most of the available evidence for the subduction …

We focus on the southern North Atlantic rifted margins to investigate the partitioning and
propagation of deformation in hyperextended rift systems using plate kinematic modeling …

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 …

The NEAM Tsunami Hazard Model 2018 (NEAMTHM18) is a probabilistic hazard model for
tsunamis generated by earthquakes. It covers the coastlines of the North-eastern Atlantic …

In the Wilson cycle, there is a change from an opening to a closing ocean when subduction
begins. Subduction initiation is commonly identified as a major problem in plate tectonics …

Initiation of new subduction zones is an integral part of Earth's plate tectonics regime. It is
generally accepted that the negative buoyancy of sufficiently old oceanic lithosphere …

During the past five decades, numerical modeling of subduction, one of the most
challenging and captivating geodynamic processes, remained in the core of geodynamic …

In the western Mediterranean, following the intervening continent-continent collision, the
subduction of the Tethyan ocean has progressively come to an end or almost in large …

The differentiation of pure turbidites and contourites from mixed deposits—as the bottom
current reworked sands (BCRS)—in sedimentary cores and outcrops from the modern or …
