Teleseismic constraints on the geological environment of deep episodic slow earthquakes in subduction zone forearcs: A review
More than a decade after the discovery of deep episodic slow slip and tremor, or slow
earthquakes, at subduction zones, much research has been carried out to investigate the …

The Moho in subduction zones
MG Bostock - Tectonophysics, 2013 - Elsevier
The Moho in subduction zones exists in two distinct forms, one associated with the
subducting oceanic plate and second with the overriding plate. The seismic expression of …

Global compilation of variations in slab depth beneath arc volcanoes and implications
EM Syracuse, GA Abers - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The location and motion of subducting plates relative to volcanic arcs provide a first‐order
constraint on theories of arc magmagenesis. We compile volcano‐specific subduction …

Ultrapotassic mafic rocks as geochemical proxies for post-collisional dynamics of orogenic lithospheric mantle: the case of southwestern Anatolia, Turkey
High-Mg ultrapotassic volcanic rock occurrences of lamproitic affinity are exposed in
southwestern Anatolia, mostly within the Menderes Massif. From north to south the lamproitic …

Imaging the transition from Aleutian subduction to Yakutat collision in central Alaska, with local earthquakes and active source data
D Eberhart‐Phillips, DH Christensen… - Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
In southern and central Alaska the subduction and active volcanism of the Aleutian
subduction zone give way to a broad plate boundary zone with mountain building and strike …

Seismic imaging of subducting continental lower crust beneath the Pamir
Exhumation of ultra-high pressure metamorphic rocks testifies that the continental crust can
subduct to significant depth into the mantle despite its buoyancy. However, direct …

Mediterranean Tertiary lamproites derived from multiple source components in postcollisional geodynamics
In the Mediterranean area, lamproitic provinces in Spain, Italy, Serbia and Macedonia have
uniform geological, geochemical and petrographic characteristics. Mediterranean lamproites …

Seismic evidence for deep-water transportation in the mantle
H Kawakatsu, S Watada - Science, 2007 - science.org
We report seismic evidence for the transportation of water into the deep mantle in the
subduction zone beneath northeastern Japan. Our data indicate that water is released from …

Thermal–petrological controls on the location of earthquakes within subducting plates
We find that in young and warm subducting plates, earthquakes occur just below the Moho.
In older plates, earthquakes occur throughout the subducting oceanic crust, as well as the …

Tectonic block motion and glacial isostatic adjustment in southeast Alaska and adjacent Canada constrained by GPS measurements
We use data from campaign and continuous GPS sites in southeast Alaska and the
neighboring region of Canada to constrain a regional tectonic block model that estimates …
