The effects of the overriding plate thermal state on the slab dip in an ocean-continent subduction system
Manuel Roda, Anna Maria Marotta, Maria Iole Spalla
To evaluate the effects of variations in the thermal state of the overriding plate on the slab dip in an ocean-continent subduction system, a 2-D finite element thermo-mechanical m…

Numerical simulations of an ocean/continent convergent system: influence of subduction geometry and mantle wedge hydration on crustal recycling
Manuel Roda, Anna Maria Marotta, Maria Iole Spalla
The effects of the hydration mechanism on continental crust recycling are analyzed through a 2D finite element thermo-mechanical model. Oceanic slab dehydration and consequent mant…
