A review of the western part of the Altaids: a key to understanding the architecture of accretionary orogens
The Altaids is one of the largest accretionary collages in the world, and the tectonic styles of
the accretionary processes have been interpreted in several ways, including as an …

Metamorphic patterns in orogenic systems and the geological record
M Brown - Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2009 - lyellcollection.org
Regional metamorphism occurs in plate boundary zones. Accretionary orogenic systems
form at subduction boundaries in the absence of continent collision, whereas collisional …

Exhuming an accretionary prism: A case study of the Kodiak accretionary complex, Alaska, USA
We have carried a structural study across Kodiak accretionary complex in Alaska, USA, in
order to describe its thermal structure and decipher the processes of exhumation. The …

Changing exhumation patterns during Cenozoic growth and glaciation of the Alaska Range: Insights from detrital thermochronology and geochronology
Cenozoic growth of the Alaska Range created the highest topography in North America, but
the space‐time pattern and drivers of exhumation are poorly constrained. We analyzed U/Pb …

[HTML][HTML] Raising the Resurrection plate from an unfolded-slab plate tectonic reconstruction of northwestern North America since early Cenozoic time
The configuration of mid-ocean ridges subducted below North America prior to Oligocene

Dynamics and implications of slab detachment due to ridge‐trench collision
ER Burkett, MI Billen - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The approach of a buoyant spreading ridge to a subduction zone may lead to detachment of
a subducted slab. Previous work has called upon the detachment process as an explanation …
