Subducting carbon

T Plank, CE Manning - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
A hidden carbon cycle exists inside Earth. Every year, megatons of carbon disappear into
subduction zones, affecting atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen over Earth's history …

Subduction erosion and arc volcanism

SM Straub, A Gómez-Tuena, P Vannucchi - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2020 - nature.com
Tectonic or subduction erosion refers to the removal of upper-plate material from the forearc
at convergent margins. Subduction erosion has been suggested to represent a major …

Forearc basins: Types, geometries, and relationships to subduction zone dynamics

A Noda - Bulletin, 2016 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Forearc basins are one of the fundamental sedimentary basins, and they preserve various
geological phenomena arising from dynamic interactions between subducting and …

The state of stress on the fault before, during, and after a major earthquake

EE Brodsky, JJ Mori, L Anderson… - Annual Review of …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Earthquakes occur by overcoming fault friction; therefore, quantifying fault resistance is
central to earthquake physics. Values for both static and dynamic friction are required, and …

Distributions of gas hydrate and free gas accumulations associated with upward fluid flow in the Sanriku-Oki forearc basin, northeast Japan

K Kret, T Tsuji, C Chhun, O Takano - Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2020 - Elsevier
We applied automated velocity analysis to a 3D seismic data volume to obtain a high-
resolution seismic velocity model that we used to investigate the influence of fluid behavior …

Deciphering the Late Cretaceous‐Cenozoic structural evolution of the North Peruvian forearc system

N Espurt, S Brusset, P Baby, P Henry, M Vega… - …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The link between plate tectonics and the evolution of active margins is still an ongoing task
to challenge since the acceptance of plate tectonic paradigm. This paper aims at …

Overriding plate velocity control on surface topography in 2‐D models of subduction zones

NG Cerpa, D Arcay - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We study the dynamically induced flexural topography in subduction numerical mechanical
models. We focus on the topographic changes at the overriding plate (OP) surface induced …

How do subduction processes contribute to forearc Andean uplift? Insights from numerical models

J Martinod, V Regard, Y Letourmy, H Henry… - Journal of …, 2016 - Elsevier
We present numerical models to study how changes in the process of subduction may
explain the observed Quaternary uplift of the Andean forearc region. Indeed, most segments …
