Depth profile of frictional properties in the inner Nankai accretionary prism using cuttings from IODP Site C0002
We conduct frictional experiments using cuttings collected at Nankai Trough IODP Site C0002 over 980.5–3262.5 mbsf (meters below seafloor) depth...

Genetic Analysis of Structural Styles in the Makran Accretionary Wedge–Insight from Physical Simulations
The Makran accretionary wedge has the smallest subduction angle among any accretionary prism in the world. The factors controlling the spacing and...

On the consolidation state of sediments from the accretionary prism offshore Vancouver Island, North Cascadia Margin
Sediment geotechnical properties are an important component of geohazard analyses and studies on submarine slope failures on continental margins. The...

Role of folding-related deformation in the seismicity of shallow accretionary prisms
The sources of shallow slow earthquakes at subduction zone fronts remain unclear, but are commonly attributed to faults and shear zones. Structural...

A preliminary study on geomorphological characteristics and genetic mechanism of pockmarks in the Makran accretionary prism, northern Arabian Sea
Submarine pockmarks are residual negative geomorphologic features on the seafloor, which are generally considered to be related to fluid escape. In...

Modeling the potential genesis of tsunamis from below an accretionary prism and their potential impact: a case study along the eastern boundary of the Caribbean Plate
The Lesser Antilles subduction zone marks the convergence between the Caribbean Plate and the oceanic Atlantic part of the America Plate. A...

Ulban Terrane (Zone) as Part of the Jurassic Accretionary Complex of the Sikhote-Alin Orogenic Belt
AbstractThe paper presents new data on the age of Triassic–Jurassic cherts replaced up section by siliceous mudstones, then by mudstones, which...

The Geodynamic Evolution of Intraoceanic Island‒Arc Systems: Expansive (Izu–Bonin‒Mariana), Accretionary (Nemur‒Olutor) and Stationary (Aleutian) Types
Abstract —The authors propose a typification of intraoceanic island‒arc systems according to the geodynamics of their development in the oceanic...

A story of Devonian ocean plate stratigraphy hosted by the Ulaanbaatar accretionary complex, northern Mongolia: implications from geological, structural and U–Pb detrital zircon data
Accretionary complexes and their hosted Ocean Plate Stratigraphy (OPS) units record a full story of ancient oceans from their birth at mid-oceanic...

New Geochemical and Age Data on the Bajgan Complex (Makran Accretionary Prism, SE Iran): Implications for the Redefinition of Its Tectonic Setting of Formation from a Paleozoic Continental Basement to a Cretaceous Oceanic Domain
The Bajgan Complex (BC) in the North Makran Domain (Makran Accretionary Prism, SE Iran) has been considered a remnant of a Paleozoic metamorphic...

A new method for the empirical conversion of logging data to clay mineral fraction in the Nankai accretionary prism
Sediment lithology, especially the clay mineral fraction, is basic geologic information, which is important for understanding faulting and...

Yam Seep at Four-Way Closure Ridge: a prominent active gas seep system at the accretionary wedge SW offshore Taiwan
Hydroacoustic surveys at the accretionary wedge southwest of Taiwan reveal a confined active hydrocarbon seepage area of ~ 49,000 m 2 in ~ 1350 m...

Pore-water geochemistry in methane-seep sediments of the Makran accretionary wedge off Pakistan: Possible link to subsurface methane hydrate
Cold seeps are pervasive along the continental margin worldwide, and are recognized as hotspots for elemental cycling pathway on Earth. In this...

Carboniferous tectonic incorporation of a Devonian seamount and oceanic crust into the South Tianshan accretionary orogen in the southern Altaids
The southern Altaids is of critical significance for a better understanding of the orogenic architecture and continental growth in Central Asia. The...

Field geology and provenance analyses of the Ganqimaodu accretionary complex (Inner Mongolia, China): implications for early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt
The early Paleozoic accretionary architecture of the Alxa and Bainaimiao regions in southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is still ambiguous....
