Submesoscale contribution to subduction: Tracer and momentum fluxes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of advances in modeling earth systems"
DOI: 10.1002/2016ms000768
Abstract: An important component of the carbon-cycle is subduction, for example of dissolved carbon, from the surface layers to depths of (102–103)m. Recently, attention has been focused on the contribution by small-scale, mesoscale M, and submesoscale… read more here.

Mapping fluids to subduction megathrust locking and slip behavior

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl075381
Abstract: In subduction zones, high fluid content and pore pressure are thought to promote aseismic creep, whereas well-drained conditions are thought to promote locking and failure in earthquakes. However, observations directly linking fluid content and seismic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017jb014177
Abstract: Kinematic and dynamic models quantify deformation and force balance in the Pamir, a region undergoing the rare and poorly understood process of intracontinental subduction. We constrain a detailed kinematic model with 506 recent GPS velocities… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017jb015154
Abstract: The Western Hellenic Subduction Zone is characterized by a transition from oceanic to continental subduction. In the southern oceanic portion of the system, abundant seismicity reaches depths of 100 km to 190 km, while the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017jc012861
Abstract: The vertical transport of surface water and carbon into ocean's interior, known as subduction, is one of the main mechanisms through which the ocean influences Earth's climate. New instrumental approaches have shown the occurrence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017rg000586
Abstract: Recent megathrust events in Tohoku (Japan), Maule (Chile), and Sumatra (Indonesia) were well recorded. Much has been learned about the dominant physical processes in megathrust zones: (partial) locking of the plate interface, detailed coseismic slip,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017tc004790
Abstract: Jurassic subduction initiation in the Neo-Tethys Ocean eventually led to the collision of the Adria-Africa and Eurasia continents and the formation of an ~6,000 km long Alpine orogen spanning from Iberia to Iran. Reconstructing the location… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-020-03798-4
Abstract: Our understanding of the ecology of the hadal zone (> 6000 m depth) is based solely on subduction trenches, leaving other geomorphological features, such as fracture zones, troughs, and basins, understudied. To address this knowledge gap, the… read more here.
