Subduction initiation without magmatism: The case of the missing Alpine magmatic arc
Abstract Models of orogens identify subduction of oceanic crust as the key mechanism

[HTML][HTML] Influence of the architecture of magma-poor hyperextended rifted margins on orogens produced by the closure of narrow versus wide oceans
Orogens resulting from the closure of narrow oceans, such as the Alps or the Pyrenees,
usually lack voluminous synsubduction and synorogenic magmatism. Such orogenies are …

Role of ancient, ultra-depleted mantle in Mid-Ocean-Ridge magmatism
There is debate to what degree mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) can be used to infer the
composition of the sub-ridge mantle and whether the upper mantle contains components …

The syn‐rift tectono‐stratigraphic record of rifted margins (Part I): Insights from the Alpine Tethys
The tectono‐stratigraphic evolution of rift systems is at present poorly understood, especially
the one preceding the onset of oceanic seafloor spreading. Improving our understanding of …

[HTML][HTML] Reconsideration of Neo-Tethys evolution constrained from the nature of the Dazhuqu ophiolitic mantle, southern Tibet
The nature (ie, sub-oceanic, sub-arc or sub-continental) of ophiolitic mantle peridotites from
the eastern Neo-Tethyan domain in southern Tibet has been hotly debated. This uncertainty …
