Mountain-front fans are an important part of the global sediment system, acting as buffers
and stores of sediment between upland sources and down-system sinks. Fans emanate …

The Samail Ophiolite in Oman, the largest exposed body of ultramafic rocks at the Earth's
surface, produces a continuous flux of hydrogen through low-temperature water/rock …

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 …

The geodynamic evolution of Eastern Arabia comprises three major events that must have
acted on the entire lithosphere below the present-day passive continental margin. Starting …

Orogens that form at convergent plate boundaries typically consist of accreted rock units that
form an incomplete archive of subducted oceanic and continental lithosphere, as well as of …

Field survey, literature review, geological map interpretation, GPlates reconstruction and LA‐
ICP‐MS U‐Pb dating of synkinematic calcite demonstrate that∼ E/W‐shortening in eastern …

The head of a mantle plume can weaken the oceanic lithosphere through the combined
action of its buoyancy forces and excess temperature, which eventually induces intra …

SUMMARY The Semail Ophiolite in eastern Arabia is the largest and best-exposed slice of
oceanic lithosphere on land. Detailed knowledge of the tectonic evolution of the shallow …

The dynamics of slab detachment and associated geological fingerprints have been inferred
from various numerical and analog models. These invariably use a setup with slab‐pull …

Eustatic sea level changes and vertical tectonic movements are producing uplifted
paleoshorelines. Along subduction zones, uplifted terraces are used to study fault activities …
