Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of
subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained …

The geological and geophysical phenomena associated with water in the slab can be
grouped into three different categories: those related to 1) the storage of water in the oceanic …

This work presents MARE2DEM, a freely available code for 2-D anisotropic inversion of
magnetotelluric (MT) data and frequency-domain controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) …

The lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB) separates rigid oceanic plates from the
underlying warm ductile asthenosphere. Although a viscosity decrease beneath this …

Hydration of the subducting oceanic plate determines the amount of water transported from
Earth's surface into its interior, and plate bending-related faulting (bend faulting) just prior to …

The portion of the Central American margin that encompasses Nicaragua is considered to
represent an end‐member system where multiple lines of evidence point to a substantial flux …

We have developed a three‐axis electric field receiver designed to be towed behind a
marine electromagnetic transmitter for the purpose of mapping the electrical resistivity in the …

Geophysical properties of oceanic crust are strongly influenced by the presence of cracks.
We studied the effects of cracks on the physical properties of oceanic crustal rocks collected …

Seismic anisotropy measurements show that upper mantle hydration at the Middle America
Trench (MAT) is limited to serpentinization and/or water in fault zones, rather than distributed …

Although plate tectonics started as a theory of the ocean basins nearly 50 years ago, the
mechanical details of how it works are still poorly known. Our understanding of these details …
