Imaging slab-transported fluids and their deep dehydration from seismic velocity tomography in the Lesser Antilles subduction zone Open
Volatiles play a pivotal role in subduction zone evolution, yet their pathways remain poorly constrained. Studying the Lesser Antilles subduction zone can yield new constraints, where old oceanic lithosphere formed by slow-spreading subduc…

Subduction history of the Caribbean from upper-mantle seismic imaging and plate reconstruction Open
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 imaging of the eastern Caribbean upper mantle and compare ident…

Widespread Hydration of the Back Arc and the Link to Variable Hydration of the Incoming Plate in the Lesser Antilles From Rayleigh Wave Imaging Open
Subduction zone dynamics are important for a better understanding of natural hazards, plate tectonics, and the evolution of the planet. Despite this, the factors dictating the location and style of volcanism are not well‐known. Here we pre…

Effects of basal drag on subduction dynamics from 2D numerical models Open
Subducting slabs are an important driver of plate motions, yet the relative importance of different forces in governing subduction motions and styles remains incompletely understood. Basal drag has been proposed to be a minor contributor t…

Effects of basal drag on subduction dynamics from 2D numerical models Open
Subducting slabs are an important driver of plate motions, yet the force balance governing subduction dynamics remains incompletely understood. Basal drag has been proposed to be a minor contributor to subduction forcing, because of the la…

Variable water input controls evolution of the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc Open
Oceanic lithosphere carries volatiles, notably water, into the mantle through subduction at convergent plate boundaries. This subducted water exercises control on the production of magma, earthquakes, formation of continental crust and min…

Rapid subduction initiation and magmatism in the Western Pacific driven by internal vertical forces Open
Plate tectonics requires the formation of plate boundaries. Particularly important is the enigmatic initiation of subduction: the sliding of one plate below the other, and the primary driver of plate tectonics. A continuous, in situ record…

The coupling transition depth in subduction zones: rheologically controlled and not constant Open
<p>The subduction zone coupling transition depth, CTD, marks the transition from frictional/ductile decoupling between the two plates to viscous coupling between the subducting plate and convecting mantle. This depth plays an importa…

Modeling Slab Temperature: A Reevaluation of the Thermal Parameter Open
We reevaluate the effects of slab age, speed, and dip on slab temperature with numerical models. The thermal parameter Φ = t v sin θ , where t is age, v is speed, and θ is angle, is traditionally used as an indicator of slab temperature. H…

The Role of the Dynamics of the Subducting Plate in Generating Arc Magmatism Open
The thermal state of subducting plates is thought to be of great importance in the generation of the arc magmatism above them. The temperature of slabs affects dehydration, the primary driver of arc magmatism, but may also determine whethe…

Relamination of mafic subducting crust throughout Earth's history Open
Earth has likely cooled by several hundred degrees over its history, which has probably affected subduction dynamics and associated magmatism. Today, the process of compositional buoyancy driven upwelling, and subsequent underplating, of s…
