Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of
subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained …

We determined three‐dimensional P and S wave velocities and P wave azimuthal
anisotropic tomography of the Northwest Pacific subduction zones by inverting 1,225,086 P …

The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of physical
and chemical processes that occur at active convergent plate margins. These include …

Lithosphere that has undergone deformation may record this process in the form of fabric
such as foliation and lineation from ductile deformation, as well as non-horizontal interfaces …

The complex tectonic setting of south-central Alaska is characterized by a transition from
normally-dipping subduction of the Pacific plate in the west to near-flat slab subduction of …

Understanding the dynamics of subduction is critical to our overall understanding of plate
tectonics and the solid Earth system. Observations of seismic anisotropy can yield …

We present 3‐D images of azimuthal anisotropy tomography of the crust and upper mantle
of the Japan subduction zone, which are determined using a large number of high‐quality P …

This study represents the first campaign‐style teleseismic shear wave splitting (SWS)
investigation of central Myanmar, an area that is tectonically controlled by the oblique …

SUMMARY The Alaska–Aleutian subduction zone represents an ideal location to study
dynamics within a mantle wedge. The subduction system spans several thousand …

Mantle source heterogeneity of arc‐related magmas was traditionally thought to be
predominantly affected by slab‐derived components. However, the role of forearc …
