The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of physical and chemical processes that occur at active convergent plate margins. These include magma generation and ...

Experiments and theoretical calculations of phase stability in an open system, high-precision earthquake locations, as well as integrated studies of fossil earthquakes in ancient subduction zones ...

These metals form in the upper crust at depths of a few kilometers (several miles). But how do they form and why are they concentrated there? (A) Diagram of a subduction zone illustrating the transfer ...

Scientists have mapped the deep forces at play beneath the Tonga Subduction Zone, exposing how mantle plumes ... Seismic Data: Mapping the Mantle in High Resolution The team analyzed 150,219 amplitude ...

Volatiles are crucial for sustaining life and Earth's habitability, with subduction zones being the main pathways for these materials to enter the mantle. However, the devolatilization of ...

Now fully funded and permitted, Phase 2 will leverage the newly constructed access road to significantly increase drilling and facilitate further expansion at the RPM Zone. A key focus of Phase 2 ...

It’s been 323 years since the last Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. How prepared are you for the ‘Big One?’ ...

Researchers using new technology to map the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the U.S. West Coast discovered a new danger zone. Here’s where, and why. Russia Calls Trump ‘Emotional’ After Putin ...

The result of a 3D computer simulation of the migration of the Gibraltar subduction zone. The image shows how the subduction zone will propagate into the Atlantic 50 million years into the future.

A modeling study suggests a slumbering subduction zone below the Gibraltar Strait is active and could break into the Atlantic Ocean in 20 million years' time, giving birth to an Atlantic "Ring of ...

A new computational, gravity-driven 3-D model, developed by the authors, shows that this slow phase will last for another 20 million years. After that, the Gibraltar subduction zone will invade ...
