Abstract: Accretionary wedge is the typical product of subduction-zone processes at shallow depths. Determining the location, composition and mechanism of accretionary wedge has important implications for understanding the tectonism of plate subduction. The Central Asian Orogenic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2017.07.024
Abstract: Abstract The Trinidad dome, Escambray complex, Cuba, forms part of an accretionary wedge built during intra-oceanic subduction in the Caribbean from the Late Cretaceous to Cenozoic. The structure reflects syn-subduction exhumation during thickening of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggz317
Abstract: The southcentral Hikurangi subduction margin (North Island, New Zealand) has a wide, low-taper accretionary wedge that is frontally accreting a >3-km-thick layer of sediments, with deformation currently focused near the toe of the wedge. We use… read more here.
