Deep hydration and lithospheric thinning at oceanic transform plate boundaries
Transform faults accommodate the lateral motions between lithospheric plates, producing
large earthquakes. Away from active transform boundaries, former oceanic transform faults …

Mineral carbonation of peridotite fueled by magmatic degassing and melt impregnation in an oceanic transform fault
Most of the geologic CO2 entering Earth's atmosphere and oceans is emitted along plate
margins. While C-cycling at mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones has been studied for …

Amphibole stability, water storage in the mantle, and the nature of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary
MP Juriček, H Keppler - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2023 - Elsevier
Amphibole could potentially be an important host of water in the upper mantle. Moreover, the
decomposition of amphibole has been invoked as a possible cause of the lithosphere …

Seismic evidence for uniform crustal accretion along slow-spreading ridges in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean
Z Wang, SC Singh - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
The crustal accretion along mid-ocean ridges is known to be spreading-rate dependent.
Along fast-spreading ridges, two-dimensional sheet-like mantle upwelling creates relatively …

Geodetic signature of a weak lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary in postseismic deformation of large subduction earthquakes
The rheology of the seismically imaged Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB) is an
important new question in plate tectonics. If the LAB is associated with ponding of partial …
