This global study of 31 off-shore back-arc basins and subbasins (BABs) identifies their
principal characteristics based on a broad spectrum of geophysical and subduction-related …

ABSTRACT Whakaari/White Island is a partially submerged, offshore andesite island
volcano, located at the northern end of the Taupō Volcanic Zone. Since the late 1960s …

We present a suite of 15 palaeogeographic maps illustrating the geological evolution of the
entirety of Zealandia, from mid-Cretaceous to present, highlighting major tectonic phases …

An extraordinarily powerful, explosive eruption occurred from Hunga volcano in the Tonga
island arc on 15 January 2022 and generated an eruption column 58 km high. The …

Understanding the origins of the mantle melts that drive voluminous silicic volcanism is
challenging because primitive magmas are generally trapped at depth. The central Taupō …

The progression from initial back-arc rifting to back-arc opening in ancient orogenic collages
is important for reconstructing subduction histories, constraining tectonic switching, and …

We examine sub-caldera structure and seismicity in and around the Okataina Volcanic
Centre (OVC), Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand, using seismic data collected over 4+ …

The development of trench-arc-backarc (TABA) systems is uniquely associated with modern-
style plate tectonics on Earth. The Qilian orogenic belt in NW China records the evolution …

Greenstone belts are dominated by mafic volcanic rocks with geochemical characteristics
that indicate a range of possible geodynamic influences. Many analogies with modern …

Abstract International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 376 cored the
submarine Brothers volcano of the Kermadec arc to provide insights into the third dimension …
