Seismic travel-time tomography of the mantle under SE Asia reveals patterns of subduction-
related seismic P-wave velocity anomalies that are of great value in hel** to understand …

We present a model proposing that oceanic lithosphere detaches from continental
lithosphere during continental collision (slab breakoff), allowing an explanation of syn-to …

Historic records of the last 300 years reveal two great interplate earthquakes (1833, MW=
8¾ 1861, MW= 8¼–8½), which ruptured major segments of the Sumatra fore arc in western …

In the upper crust, the chemical influence of pore water promotes time dependent brittle
deformation through sub‐critical crack growth. Sub‐critical crack growth allows rocks to …

Mantle Extrusion: A Model for Dispersed Volcanism and Dupal-Like Asthenosphere in East
Asia and the Western Pacific Page 1 Mantle Extrusion' A Model for Dispersed Volcanism and …

The plate-tectonic concepts that developed rapidly in the late l960s made possible the
understanding of island arcs. Before that time, mobilistic concepts evolved slowly, hindered …

Estimates of shear resistance associated with lithospheric thrusting and convergence
represent lower bounds on the force necessary to promote trench formation. Three …

Profiles across subduction-related trenches commonly show normal faulting of the outer
trench wall. Such faulting is generally parallel or sub-parallel to the trench and is ascribed to …

The active Banda arc–continent collision (Banda Orogen) provides many new constraints for
resolving long-standing issues about the formative stages of collision. Some of these issues …

This study provides an overview of intermediate-depth earthquake phenomena, placing
emphasis on the larger, tectonically significant events, and exploring the relation of …
