Abstract: In Northeast Japan and Izu‐Bonin, arc volcanoes form in clusters or as cross‐arc chains. Their occurrence emphasizes the non‐uniform distributions of sub‐arc temperature and fluids that control the spacing of arc volcanoes. Here, using 3‐D… read more here.

Abstract: Spreading centre jumps are a common feature of oceanic back-arc basins. Jumps are conventionally suggested to be triggered by plate velocity changes, pre-existing weaknesses, or punctuated events such as the opening of slab windows. Here,… read more here.
