On the Origin of Seismic Anisotropy in the Shallow Crust of the Northern Volcanic Zone, Iceland
Abstract: The Icelandic crust is a product of its unique tectonic setting, where the interaction of an ascending mantle plume and the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge has caused elevated mantle melting, with the melt accreted and cooled in...
The Signature of Lithospheric Anisotropy at Post-Subduction Continental Margins
The relative paucity of recent post‐subduction environments globally has meant that, so far, little is known about tectonic processes that occur during and after subduction termination, as previously convergent tectonic plates...
Crustal and Mantle Deformation Inherited From Obduction of the Semail Ophiolite (Oman) and Continental Collision (Zagros)
Abstract: A common deviation from typical subduction models occurs when thrust sheets of oceanic crust and upper‐mantle rocks are emplaced over more buoyant continental lithosphere. The archetypal example of ophiolite obduction...
