A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

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

The oceanic crust that enters a subduction zone is generally recycled to great depth. In rare
and punctuated episodes, however, blueschists and eclogites derived from subducted …

In continental subduction zones, the behaviour of the mantle wedge during exhumation of
(ultra) high-pressure [(U) HP] rocks provides a key to distinguish among competing …

The active Mai'iu low-angle normal fault in the Woodlark rift dips as low as 16°–20° at the
surface and has formed by extensional inversion of the Paleogene Owen-Stanley thrust …

Rock recycling within the forearcs of subduction zones involves subduction of sediments
and hydrated lithosphere into the upper mantle, exhumation of rocks to the surface, and …

Exhumation of (ultra) high pressure [(U) HP] rocks by upper-plate divergent motion above an
unbroken slab, first proposed in the Western Alps, has never been tested by numerical …

Three Orosirian basins and associated foreland thrust-fold belts are preserved on the
margins of the Slave craton. All three are related to orogenic belts where oceans opened …

To what degree low‐angle normal faults (LANFs) deform by a “rolling‐hinge” mechanism is
still debated for continental metamorphic core complexes (MCCs). The Mai'iu fault in SE …

Southeast Papua hosts the world's youngest ultra‐high‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks.
These rocks are found in an extensional setting in metamorphic core complexes. Competing …
