The SZ4D Implementation Plan details how the scientific community plans to make major advances in understanding subduction zone hazards. Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides beneath ...

Map highlighting the Atlantic subduction zones, the fully developed Lesser Antilles and Scotia arcs on the western side and the incipient Gibraltar arc on the eastern side. From Duarte et al., 2018.

I recently participated in a three-week-long, National Science Foundation-funded research cruise to the Mariana Trench. Our target was an east-to-west transect starting near Guam, over the Challenger ...

Sand and mud subducted off the coast of California around 75 million years ago returned to the Earth's crust by rising up through the mantle as enormous diapirs, like blobs in a lava lamp, new ...

Boulder, Colo., USA: Article topics and locations include lagoon infilling by coral reef sand aprons as a proxy for carbonate sediment productivity; mobilization of tin during subduction; and reworked ...

Encarnacion is interested in a variety of tectonic and petrologic problems dealing with subduction, magmatism, island arc and continental crustal growth as well as ore deposits. His research has taken ...

It's time to redraw the map of the world during the reign of the dinosaurs, two scientists say. Picture the U.S. West Coast as a torturous tectonic boundary, similar to Australia and Southeast Asia ...

Our planet's lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates. Their configuration is ever-shifting, as supercontinents are assembled and broken up, and oceans form, grow, and then start to close in ...
