Abstract: Stress distribution and creep mechanisms along modern subduction interfaces remain poorly understood, due to the lack of high-resolution constraints on the rheology of the heterogeneous plate interface and associated fluid distribution in the so-called transition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2219083120
Abstract: Significance Our research presents a method that more accurately determines the quantitative composition of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) fluid [high H2O (~40 wt.%) and solute (~60 wt.%) contents] released by a slab during deep subduction compared with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/ges02037.1
Abstract: We use structural and microstructural observations from exhumed subduction-related rocks exposed on Syros Island (Cyclades, Greece) to provide constraints on the length scales and types of heterogeneities that occupy the deep subduction interface, with possible… read more here.
