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 …

Despite the critical role of subduction in plate tectonics, the dynamics of its initiation remains
unclear. High-temperature low-pressure metamorphic soles are vestiges of subduction …

The plate interface undergoes two transitions between seismogenic depths and subarc
depths. A brittle-ductile transition at 20–50 km depth is followed by a transition to full viscous …

This paper provides an overview of research on core from Oman Drilling Project Hole BT1B
and the surrounding area, plus new data and calculations, constraining processes in the …

The thermal structure of subduction zones controls many important processes such as
metamorphic devolatilization, arc magmatism, and seismicity. However, the thermal state of …

We develop a linear viscous constitutive relationship for pressure solution constrained by
models of deformed metasedimentary rocks and observations of exposed rocks from ancient …

A thermal and mechanical framework is presented for analysis of pressure‐temperature (P‐
T) data and structural observations from high‐pressure‐low‐temperature (HPLT) terrains. P …

Continental crust in average exhibits a similar composition in both major and trace elements
to andesites along active continental margins. For this reason, andesitic magmatism above …

In the two decades since Subduction: Top to Bottom was published in 1996, improved
analytical and numerical thermal-petrologic models of subduction zones have been …
