Subduction erosion: rates, mechanisms, and its role in arc magmatism and the evolution of the continental crust and mantle

CR Stern - Gondwana Research, 2011 - Elsevier
Subduction erosion occurs at all convergent plate boundaries, even if they are also
accretionary margins. Frontal subduction erosion results from a combination of erosion and …

The role of subduction erosion in the generation of Andean and other convergent plate boundary arc magmas, the continental crust and mantle

CR Stern - Gondwana Research, 2020 - Elsevier
Subduction erosion, which occurs at all convergent plate boundaries associated with
magmatic arcs formed on crystalline forearc basement, is an important process for chemical …

Subduction erosion and arc volcanism

SM Straub, A Gómez-Tuena, P Vannucchi - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2020 - nature.com
Tectonic or subduction erosion refers to the removal of upper-plate material from the forearc
at convergent margins. Subduction erosion has been suggested to represent a major …

Subduction erosion—The “normal” mode of fore-arc material transfer along the Chilean margin?

N Kukowski, O Oncken - The Andes: Active Subduction Orogeny, 2006 - Springer
Subduction erosion shapes at least half of the world's convergent margins. However, its
rates, and modes as well as spatial and temporal variation are poorly understood. Based on …

Controls on tectonic accretion versus erosion in subduction zones: Implications for the origin and recycling of the continental crust

P Clift, P Vannucchi - Reviews of Geophysics, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Documenting the mass flux through convergent plate margins is important to the
understanding of petrogenesis in arc settings and to the origin of the continental crust, since …

Observations at convergent margins concerning sediment subduction, subduction erosion, and the growth of continental crust

R Von Huene, DW Scholl - Reviews of Geophysics, 1991 - Wiley Online Library
At ocean margins where two plates converge, the oceanic plate sinks or is subducted
beneath an upper one topped by a layer of terrestrial crust. This crust is constructed of …
