The sizes of continental blocks, basaltic oceanic plateaus, and island arcs that would cause
collisional orogenesis when they enter a subduction zone are calculated in an analysis …

Constraints on the seismogenic portion of the subduction thrust zone along the Cascadia
margin are provided by the thermal regime. The zone of stick‐slip “locked” behavior where …

This study examines thermal and structural controls of the updip and downdip rupture limits
of great subduction thrust earthquakes. Data on past great earthquake seismic limits have …

The subduction of oceanic lithosphere depresses isotherms on a regional scale resulting in
large thermal anomalies in the upper mantle. The thermal structure of a subduction zone …

The Franciscan Complex of California records over 150 million years of continuous E-
dipping subduction that terminated with conversion to a dextral transform plate boundary …

It is well recognized that active arc volcanism at nearly all subduction zones requires
temperatures greater than 1200° C in the subarc mantle, despite the underthrusting cool …

Dehydration embrittlement of metamorphosed oceanic crust and mantle in the subducting
slab may be responsible for the occurrence of intermediate‐depth earthquakes. We explore …

The metamorphic evolution and dehydration of subducting oceanic crust may be predicted
by combining calculated pressure-temperature (PT) paths with a model of metabasalt phase …

Abstract The model of “Return-Flow in a Subduction Channel”(RFSC) is put to the test, by
opposing key-assumptions of the model to an integrated review of field data, petrology …

Abstract On Santa Catalina Island, southern California, lawsonite-albite to amphibolite facies
metasedimentary, metamafic, and metaultramafic rocks show veining and chemical …
