When continents collide, the arrival of positively buoyant continental crust slows down subduction. This collision often leads to the detachment of earlier subducted oceanic lithosphere, which changes the subsequent dynamics of the orogenic system. R

Abstract Although many different mechanisms for subduction initiation have been proposed, only few of them are viable in terms of consistency with observations and reproducibility in numerical experiments. In particular, it has recently been demonstr

The evolution of a thrust belt within a continental indenter: investigating the internal deformation of the Dolomites Indenter, eastern Southern Alps, in a combined low-temperature thermochronology, field and analogue modelling study

The Dolomites Indenter represents the eastern front segment of the Neogene to ongoing N(W)-directed continental indentation of Adria into Europe. Concomitant shortening is accommodated within a south-vergent thrust belt, situated between the Periadri

Mechanical and microstructural characterization of spatially heterogenous simulated fault gouges, derived from the Groningen gas field stratigraphy

Autor: Job Arts, André Niemeijer, Martyn Drury, Ernst Willingshofer, Liviu Matenco

Gas production from the Groningen gas field in the northeast of the Netherlands causes compaction and induced seismicity within the reservoir and overlying/underlying lithologies. Recent earthquake localization studies show that seismicity dominantly

International audience; We present a new numerical modelling study of subduction initiation at (hyper-extended) magma-poor and magma-rich continental passive margins. In particular, we test how the structure and rheological stratification of these tw
