The rise and demise of deep accretionary wedges: A long-term Held and numerical modeling perspective

Samuel Angiboust et al.

Summary: Decades of research have allowed us to understand the tectonic transport processes in accretionary wedges, including the formation of duplex structures and tectonic erosion. The analysis of rock records and zircon detrital ages has provided valuable insights into ancient active margins. However, there are still fundamental questions to be answered regarding the forces behind mass transfer and crustal recycling in deep accretionary systems. Thermo-mechanical experiments have helped unravel mass-flow pathways and the distribution of stresses, shedding light on the dynamics and topographic expression of fluid-bearing accretionary systems. Understanding these processes is crucial for refining our understanding of long-term plate-interface coupling and the behavior of seismogenic zones in active subduction settings.

Postseismic geodetic signature of cold forearc mantle in subduction zones

Haipeng Luo et al.

Summary: The sharp thermal contrast between the cold forearc and the hot arc and backarc is considered crucial for various subduction zone processes, but direct observational evidence is limited. This contrast likely causes a rheological difference in the mantle wedge, impacting postseismic deformation following large subduction earthquakes. Overall, the link between long-term thermal processes and short-term earthquake cycle deformation is important for understanding subduction zone dynamics.

Slab Temperature Evolution Over the Lifetime of a Subduction Zone

A. F. Holt et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the thermal structure of subducting slabs varies at different stages of subduction due to time-dependent subduction properties and inherited thermal structures. Slabs experience rapid cooling during initiation, followed by slower cooling, with additional cooling during the free sinking phase at the Moho. The findings suggest that the variability in recorded exhumed rocks may have dynamic origins and that varying subduction conditions challenge kinematically driven models with constant parameters.

On the Stability of Talc in Subduction Zones: A Possible Control on the Maximum Depth of Decoupling Between the Subducting Plate and Mantle Wedge

Simon M. Peacock et al.

Summary: Geophysical observations suggest that the subducting slab becomes fully coupled to the overlying mantle wedge at around 70-80 km depth, separating cool, stagnant forearc mantle from warmer, convecting mantle. Talc distribution varies at different depths, affecting the strength of rocks in the subduction zones.

Differentiating induced versus spontaneous subduction initiation using thermomechanical models and metamorphic soles

Xin Zhou et al.

Summary: Although spontaneous subduction initiation is more favorable for creating high-temperature conditions, geological observations indicate that the majority of metamorphic soles formed during induced subduction initiation involving a young overriding plate.
