Lawsonite is an abundant hydrous mineral in oceanic crust, sediments, and metasomatic
rocks at depths of~ 45 to 300 km in most subduction zones, but it is rarely preserved in the …

The construction of five crustal-scale profiles across the Western Alps and the Ivrea mantle
wedge integrates up-to-date geological and geophysical information and reveals important …

The hydrous minerals in the subduction zone play an extremely important role in material
circulation and water migration, and also control the abnormal seismic wave velocity in the …

We estimated the P wave velocity structure of the crust of the subducting Pacific plate
beneath northeast Japan using arrival time data of P‐to‐S‐converted waves. The results …

Seismic anisotropy constitutes a useful tool for imaging the structure along the plate
interface in subduction zones, but the seismic properties of mafic blueschists, a common …

To understand the causes of seismic low-velocity layers and seismic anisotropy of the
subducting oceanic crust in warm subduction zones, the seismic properties of glaucophane …

Subduction zones exhibit faster seismic wave velocities compared to the surrounding mantle
due to the recycling of relatively cold oceanic lithosphere. In certain subduction zones …

The potential seismological contributions of metamorphosed and deformed oceanic crust in
a subduction zone environment were studied in a detailed petro‐fabric analysis of blueschist …

We conducted a detailed study on the microstructures and petro-fabrics of massive and
foliated lawsonite blueschist (LBS) in North Qilian suture zone, NW China. The lattice …

Investigations of microstructures are crucial if we are to understand the seismic anisotropy of
subducting oceanic crust, and here we report on our systematic fabric analyses of …
