Subduction history of the Caribbean from upper-mantle seismic imaging and plate reconstruction

B Braszus, S Goes, R Allen, A Rietbrock… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The margins of the Caribbean and associated hazards and resources have been shaped by
a poorly understood history of subduction. Using new data, we improve teleseismic P-wave …

Slab to back-arc to arc: Fluid and melt pathways through the mantle wedge beneath the Lesser Antilles

SP Hicks, L Bie, CA Rychert, N Harmon, S Goes… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
Volatiles expelled from subducted plates promote melting of the overlying warm mantle,

geochemical water cycle. Fluid transport and release can be constrained with seismological …

Not all icequakes are created equal: Basal icequakes suggest diverse bed deformation mechanisms at Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica

SK Kufner, AM Brisbourne, AM Smith… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Microseismicity, induced by the sliding of a glacier over its bed, can be used to characterize
frictional properties of the ice‐bed interface, which are a key parameter controlling ice …

Along‐arc heterogeneity in local seismicity across the Lesser Antilles subduction zone from a dense ocean‐bottom seismometer network

L Bie, A Rietbrock, S Hicks, R Allen… - Seismological …, 2020 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Abstract The Lesser Antilles arc is only one of two subduction zones where slow‐spreading
Atlantic lithosphere is consumed. Slow‐spreading may result in the Atlantic lithosphere …

Lesser Antilles slab reconstruction reveals lateral slab transport under the Caribbean since 50 Ma

YW Chen, J Wu, S Goes - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2024 - Elsevier
The link between surface tectonic plates and mantle slabs is fundamental for paleo-tectonic
reconstructions and for our understanding of mantle dynamics. Many seismic tomography …

Heterogeneous seismic anisotropy beneath Madeira and Canary archipelagos revealed by local and teleseismic shear wave splitting

D Schlaphorst, G Silveira, J Mata… - Geophysical Journal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Mid-plate upward mantle flow is a key component of global mantle convection, but its
patterns are poorly constrained. Seismic anisotropy is the most direct way to infer mantle …
