DOI: 10.1007/s44195-024-00065-7
Abstract: The doubly vergent orogen in Taiwan is a relatively young and active arc-continent collision caused by the convergence of Eurasian and Philippine Sea Plates occurring along a complicated seismogenic plate boundary. This study aims to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021tc006916
Abstract: Contractional deformation is common along transform plate margins where plate motion is oblique to the plate boundary. While faults that accommodate this deformation are often inferred to be subsidiary to the main plate boundary fault,… read more here.

Rheology of Naturally Deformed Antigorite Serpentinite: Strain and Strain‐Rate Dependence at Mantle‐Wedge Conditions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1029/2022gl098945
Abstract: Antigorite serpentinite is expected to occur in parts of subduction plate boundaries, and may suppress earthquake slip, but the dominant deformation mechanisms and resultant rheology of antigorite are unclear. An exhumed plate boundary shear zone… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023tc007963
Abstract: The northward migration of the Mendocino triple junction (MTJ) drives a fundamental plate boundary transformation from convergence to translation; producing a series of strike‐slip faults, that become the San Andreas plate boundary. We find that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-15959-5
Abstract: Methane emission from the geosphere is generally characterized by a radiocarbon-free signature and might preserve information on the deep carbon cycle on Earth. Here we report a clear relationship between the origin of methane-rich natural… read more here.
