At subduction zones, crustal material enters the mantle. Some of this material, however, is
returned to the overriding plate through volcanic and plutonic activity. Magmas erupted …

Progress in seismic methodology and ambitious large‐scale seismic projects are enabling
high‐resolution imaging of the continental crust. The ability to constrain interpretations of …

Using data from more than 2000 seismic stations from multiple networks arrayed throughout
China (CEArray, China Array, NECESS, PASSCAL, GSN) and surrounding regions (Korean …

This paper presents a new model of the shear velocity structure of the crust and uppermost
mantle beneath the contiguous US The model is based on more than a decade of USArray …

A recent global compilation of the thermal structure of subduction zones is used to predict
the metamorphic facies and H2O content of downgoing slabs. Our calculations indicate that …

Crust extracted from the mantle in arcs is refined into continental crust in subduction zones.
During sediment subduction, subduction erosion, arc subduction, and continent subduction …

We present a new analysis of the lithospheric architecture of Africa, and its evolution from ca.
3.6 Ga to the present. Upper-lithosphere domains, generated or reworked in different time …

The amount of H2O subducted to postarc depths dictates such disparate factors as the
generation of arc and back‐arc magmas, the rheology of the mantle wedge and slab, and …

Seismic S-wave receiver functions (SRF) are a uniquely powerful tool for imaging velocity
discontinuities within the upper mantle. SRF data frequently contain negative phases at …

We forward modeled the Bouguer anomaly in a region encompassing the Pacific Ocean
(85° W) and the Andean margin (60° W) between northern Peru (5° S) and Patagonia (45° …
