Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and
reequilibrate with Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth's …

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 …

We present a narrative of the eruptive events culminating in the cataclysmic January 15,
2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Volcano by synthesizing diverse preliminary …

A new ICP‐MS database for glasses from the Mariana Trough, together with published and
new ICP‐MS data from the Mariana arc, provides the basis for geochemical map** of the …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

The compositions of back-arc basin basalts (BABB) can usefully be viewed as products of
four factors:(1) the composition of inflowing mantle and its preconditioning during flow to the …

The Mariana, east Scotia, Lau, and Manus back-arc basins (BABs) have spreading rates that
vary from slow (< 50 mm/yr) to fast (> 100 mm/yr) and extension axes located from 10 to 400 …

The relationship between subduction and back‐arc spreading has been well known since
the early days of plate tectonics. However, the reasons why back‐arc basins are associated …

Documenting the early tectonic and magmatic evolution of the Izu–Bonin–Mariana (IBM) arc
system in the Western Pacific is critical for understanding the process and cause of …

Abstract The Karakoram/Kohistan/India collision zone provides a rare opportunity to study
the roles of subduction and tectonic accretion in crustal growth processes. Magmatic …
