Widening of the Andes: an interplay between subduction dynamics and crustal wedge tectonics
Joseph Martinod, Mélanie Gérault, Laurent Husson +1
Shortening of the continental lithosphere is generally accommodated by the growth of crustal wedges building above megathrusts in the mantle lithosphere. We show that the locus of…

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…
