Melanges play three principal, overlapping roles in the architecture of subduction
accretionary complexes (SACs) during and after SAC formation. First, tectonic melanges …

Several decades of field, geophysical, analogue, and numerical modeling investigations
have enabled documentation of the wide range of tectonic transport processes in …

Many described subduction complexes (or mélanges) exhumed from seismogenic depths
comprise thick, turbidite‐dominated sequences with deformed zones containing clasts or …

Field relationships in the Franciscan Complex of California suggest localization of
subduction slip in narrow zones (≤ 300 m thick) at the depths of~ 10–80 km. Accretionary …

The thickness of a seismic slip layer controls style and rate of rupture propagation, frictional
heating, weakening, and energy budget of earthquakes. Slip layer thickness changes …

Abstract The Snow Mountain Volcanic Complex (SMVC; northern California, USA) is a well‐
preserved example of a coherently‐exhumed subducted seamount. This study reappraises …

The Franciscan Complex represents the forearc accretionary wedge that formed during late
Mesozoic− Cenozoic subduction in California, USA, and preserves detailed records of long …

Subduction accretionary complexes are composed of major and minor structural,
stratigraphic, and tectonostratigraphic units. The major architectural units, Accretionary Units …

The development of multiple paleotemperature proxies over the last twenty years has led to
an increasing number of coseismic temperature measurements collected across a variety of …

Discrimination between gravity slides and tectonic fold-and-thrust belts in the geologic
record has long been a challenge, as both have similar layer shortening structures resulting …
