Mechanisms and processes of stratal disruption and mixing in the development of mélanges and broken formations: Redefining and classifying mélanges
The terms mélange and broken formation have been used in different ways in the literature.
The lack of agreement on their definition often leads to confusion and misinterpretations. An …

Geologic heterogeneity can produce aseismic slip transients
RM Skarbek, AW Rempel… - Geophysical Research …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Slow slip and tectonic tremor in subduction zones take place at depths where there is
abundant evidence for distributed shear over broad zones (∼ 10–103 m) composed of rocks …

[HTML][HTML] Mélanges and chaotic rock units: Implications for exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts
Most of mélanges occurring in exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts are
commonly interpreted as the product of tectonic processes (eg, underplating and return flow) …
