DOI: 10.1029/2018gl081295
Abstract: Separation of microcontinents is explained by a ridge jump toward the passive margin as a possible consequence of plume‐induced rheological weakening, ultimately leading to breakup followed by accretion of the oceanic crust along a new… read more here.

Abstract: Deep slow slip events (SSEs) at subduction zones have significantly contributed to refining our understanding of the megathrust earthquake cycle at the brittle-ductile transition. However, the specific combination of factors that determine their occurrence has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggab246
Abstract: A popular idea is that accretion of sediment at a subduction zone commonly leads to the formation of a subduction channel, which is envisioned as a narrow zone located above a subducting plate and filled… read more here.
