Subduction Zone Magmatism
In this book, the authors present a simple, current and comprehensive model that explains the dominant geological processes at work in subduction zones.
Yashiyuki Tatsumi, Stephen Eggins, 1995
2
The Seismogenic
Zone of
Subduction Thrust Faults
This volume attempts to answer such fundamental concerns as why some interplate subduction earthquakes are relatively modest in rupture length (greater than 100 km) while others, such as the great (M greater than 9) 1960 Chile, 1964 Alaska, ...
Timothy H. Dixon, J. Casey Moore, 2013

Subduction Zone Geodynamics
This volume contains a collection of contributions that were presented in June 2007 in Montpellier (France) during a conference that gave a state of the art panorama and discussed the perspectives about "Subduction Zone Geodynamics".
Serge Lallemand, Francesca Funiciello, 2009

Subduction Zone Geodynamics
Abstract Recent geodetic and seismological observations have revealed that
brittle- plastic transition zones at subduction zone interfaces are loci of slow slip
episodes and nonvolcanic harmonic tremors. It is therefore important to estimate
the ...
Serge Lallemand, Francesca Funiciello, 2009
5
Quantifying Geomorphology Associated with Large
Subduction ...
For 30 large-earthquake generating subduction zones, I quantify forearc basin size and subducting seafloor roughness to determine if the size and shape of geomorphologic features control earthquake magnitude.
6
Collision and Collapse at the Africa-Arabia-Eurasia ...
This book combines thirteen new contributions that highlight timing and distribution of the Cretaceous to Recent evolution of the Calabrian, Carpathian, Aegean and Anatolian segments of the Africa-Arabia-Eurasia subduction zone.
Douwe J. J. van Hinsbergen, Michael A. Edwards, Rob Govers, 2009
7
Ophiolite Concept and the Evolution of Geological Thought
The second (from 1972 to 1984) is a period of paradigm shift to the view that the
majority of ophiolites forms above subduction zones, and can be grouped as the
class known as supra-subduction zone ophiolites. The third (from 1984 onward) ...
Yildirim Dilek, Sally Newcomb, 2003
8
Active tectonics of the Hellenic
subduction zone
In spite of its relative quiescence in the instrumental record, the Hellenic
subduction zone is capable of producing large magnitude earthquakes, and
tsunamis that travel throughout the Mediterranean. In common with previous
studies, ...

Local tsunami hazards in the Pacific Northwest from Cascadia ...
Since the mid-1980s, there has been accumulating geologic evidence of large
local tsunamis generated by earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone
off the Pacific Northwest. Information from recent geophysical and geological ...
Eric L. Geist, Geological Survey (U.S.), 2005

Structural Features of
Subduction Zone Determined by ...
Jer-Ming Chiu. STRUCTURE AND GEOMETRY OF THE INTER PLATE
BOUNDARY . Shallow earthquakes with thrust fault focal mechanisms in
subduction zones can be interpreted in terms of seismic slippage along the
interplate boundary.
