▪ Abstract Turkic-type orogeny is a class of collisional mountain building, in which the
precollision history of one, or both, of the colliding continents involves the growth of very …

Mélanges represent a significant component of collisional and accretionary orogenic belts.
We present a comparison of subduction-accretion mélanges of different ages to test how …

A new tectonic model, postulating the growth of giant subduction-accretion complexes along
a single magmatic arc now found contorted between Siberia and Baltica, shows that Asia …

Subduction thrust faults generate earthquakes over a limited depth range. They are aseismic
in their seaward updip portions and landward downdip of a critical point. The seaward …

This study examines thermal and structural controls of the updip and downdip rupture limits
of great subduction thrust earthquakes. Data on past great earthquake seismic limits have …

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 …

Forearc basins are one of the fundamental sedimentary basins, and they preserve various
geological phenomena arising from dynamic interactions between subducting and …

We developed a 3‐D viscoelastic model, in concert with an afterslip model, to describe the
postseismic deformation following the 1964 Alaska earthquake. Our model incorporates a …

Reconfigurations of magmatic arcs through time have been recognized since pioneering
works, describing inland and trenchward arc migrations or magmatic shut-off lasting for …

Earth's continental crust today is both created and destroyed by plate tectonic processes, a
balance that is encapsulated by the traditional Chinese concept of yin–yang, whereby …
