Coupled evolution of deformation, pore fluid pressure, and fluid flow in shallow subduction forearcs
Deformation and fluid flow in subduction zone forearcs are dynamically coupled, but our
quantitative understanding of their coupling is incomplete. In this work, we investigate the …

Oblique subduction modelling indicates along-trench tectonic transport of sediments
Convergent plate margins are currently distinguished as 'accretional'or 'erosional',
depending on the tendency to accumulate sediments, or not, at the trench. Accretion and …

Subduction erosion modes: Comparing finite element numerical models with the geological record
During subduction erosion, the upper plate is tectonically eroded by the subducting plate
and carried into the mantle. The geological record suggests that subduction erosion is a …
