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

Ongoing seafloor exploration highlights that ultramafic-hosted seafloor massive sulfide
deposits (UM-SMS) are ubiquitous along slow to ultra-slow spreading ridges. These …

Recent geochemical evidence confirms the oxidized nature of arc magmas, but the
underlying processes that regulate the redox state of the subarc mantle remain yet to be …

Subduction zones and their associated slabs are the main drivers of plate tectonics and
mantle flow, but how these zones initiate remains enigmatic. In the Scotia Sea region …

Through Earth's history, the evolution of both mantle and oceanic gateways entails a series
of processes that culminate in global changes. This synthesis article focuses on the linkages …

The mountainous, glaciated island of South Georgia is the crest of one of the most isolated
fragments of continental crust on Earth. It is located approximately 1700 km east of the …

The research is focused on the topographic modelling and map** of the Aleutian Trench.
The study area is situated in the Bering Sea, a marginal sea located northernmost of the …

Subduction zones are locations on Earth where the oceanic material of one tectonic plate
dives below the material (oceanic or continental) of another tectonic plate into the mantle …

Geological profiles serve as invaluable repositories of data for knowledge extraction and the
identification of geological entities, constituting a fundamental resource in scientific …

Plate reconstructions provide basic constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Antarctic
Peninsula but they are limited by a scarcity of paleomagnetic data. Here, using a …
