DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.08.011
Abstract: Abstract The mechanisms underpinning the formation of a focused volcanic arc above subduction zones are debated. Suggestions include controls by: (i) where the subducting plate releases water, lowering the solidus in the overlying mantle wedge;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl084656
Abstract: In southern Kurile, interseismic contraction observed with Global Navigation Satellite Systems is faster in the volcanic arc than in the forearc. Here, we use a viscoelastic finite element model to investigate the physical process responsible… read more here.
