Dynamical effects of subducting ridges: Insights from 3-D laboratory models
Joseph Martinod, Francesca Funiciello, Claudio Faccenna +2
We model the subduction of buoyant ridges and plateaus to study their effect on slab dynamics. Oceanic ridges parallel to the trench have a stronger effect on the process of subduc…

Horizontal subduction zones, convergence velocity and the building of the Andes
Joseph Martinod, Laurent Husson, Pierrick Roperch +2
We discuss the relationships between Andean shortening, plate velocities at the trench, and slab geometry beneath South America. Although some correlation exists between the conver…
