The subduction plate interface: Rock record and mechanical coupling (from long to short timescales)
Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Kinematic reconstruction of the Caribbean region since the Early Jurassic
The Caribbean oceanic crust was formed west of the North and South American continents,
probably from Late Jurassic through Early Cretaceous time. Its subsequent evolution has …

Subduction history of the Caribbean from upper-mantle seismic imaging and plate reconstruction
B Braszus, S Goes, R Allen, A Rietbrock… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The margins of the Caribbean and associated hazards and resources have been shaped by
a poorly understood history of subduction. Using new data, we improve teleseismic P-wave …

Isotopic compositions of sulfides in exhumed high‐pressure terranes: implications for sulfur cycling in subduction zones
JB Walters, AM Cruz‐Uribe… - Geochemistry …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Subduction is a key component of Earth's long‐term sulfur cycle; however, the mechanisms
that drive sulfur from subducting slabs remain elusive. Isotopes are a sensitive indicator of …
