Attachment formation during partitioning of oblique convergence in the Ketilidian orogen, South Greenland (2004)
Book Chapter
McCaffrey, K., Grocott, J., Garde, A., & Hamilton, M. (2004). Attachment formation during partitioning of oblique convergence in the Ketilidian orogen, South Greenland. In J. Grocott, K. McCaffrey, G. Taylor, & B. Tikoff (Eds.), Vertical coupling & decoupling in the lithosphere (231-248). The Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/gsl.sp.2004.227.01.12

Subhorizontal attachment zones provide coupling between lithospheric layers in orogenic belts. A mid-crustal attachment zone is exposed in the Palaeoproterozoic Ketilidian orogen, south Greenland, which formed as a result of north-directed oblique co...

Patterns of stress at midocean ridges and their offsets due to seafloor subsidence (2004)
Journal Article
Neves, M., Bott, M., & Searle, R. (2004). Patterns of stress at midocean ridges and their offsets due to seafloor subsidence. Tectonophysics, 386(3-4), 223-242. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tecto.2004.06.010

The effect of the seafloor subsidence on the horizontal stress field is investigated by combining the finite element method with a formulation that allows us to compute the two-dimensional (2D) horizontal stresses arising from isostatically compensat...

Re-Os isotope systematics and Platinum Group Element fractionation during mantle melt extraction : A study of massif and xenolith peridotite suites (2004)
Journal Article
Pearson, D., Irvine, G., Ionov, D., Boyd, F., & Dreibus, G. (2004). Re-Os isotope systematics and Platinum Group Element fractionation during mantle melt extraction : A study of massif and xenolith peridotite suites. Chemical Geology, 208(1-4), 29-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2004.04.005

Re–Os isotope and platinum group elements (PGE) systematics are presented for peridotite xenoliths from N. Lesotho (on-craton), S. Namibia (circum-cratonic), the Vitim volcanic field (Baikhal Rift), plus massif peridotites from Beni Bousera, N. Moroc...

Inclined transpression (2004)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Holdsworth, R., Clegg, P., McCaffrey, K., & Tavarnelli, E. (2004). Inclined transpression. Journal of Structural Geology, 26(8), 1531-1548. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2004.01.004

Inclined transpression can be defined in terms of simultaneous contraction and strike-slip and dip-slip shearing, and is illustrated here using a strain triangle in which the apices represent the three strain components. Strain matrix modelling shows... Read More about Inclined transpression.

Hf isotope systematics of kimberlites and their megacrysts: New constraints on their source regions (2004)
Journal Article
Nowell, G., Pearson, D., Bell, D., Carlson, R., Smith, C., Kempton, P., & Noble, S. (2004). Hf isotope systematics of kimberlites and their megacrysts: New constraints on their source regions. Journal of Petrology, 45(8), 1583-1612. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egh024

Kimberlites from Southern Africa, along with their low-Cr megacrysts, have unusual Hf–Nd isotopic characteristics. Group I and Transitional kimberlites define arrays trending oblique to, and well below, the Nd–Hf isotope ‘mantle array’, defined by oc...

Various mechanisms to induce present-day shallow flat subduction and implications for the younger Earth: a numerical parameter study (2004)
Journal Article
van Hunen, J., van den Berg, A., & Vlaar, N. (2004). Various mechanisms to induce present-day shallow flat subduction and implications for the younger Earth: a numerical parameter study. Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 146(1-2), 179-194. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pepi.2003.07.027

Shallow flat subduction is a relatively common feature at present-day subduction zones. Several mechanisms to explain this feature have been proposed, and can be subdivided into three groups: overthrusting of the subducting plate, subduction of a plu...

Tectonic controls on drainage evolution and development of terminal alluvial fans, southern Pyrenees, Spain (2004)
Journal Article
Jones, S. (2004). Tectonic controls on drainage evolution and development of terminal alluvial fans, southern Pyrenees, Spain. Terra Nova, 16(3), 121-127. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3121.2004.00539.x

An understanding of how drainage patterns respond to tectonics can provide an insight into past deformational events within mountain belts and where sediment flux is supplied to depositional basins. The transverse rivers draining the Spanish Pyrenees... Read More about Tectonic controls on drainage evolution and development of terminal alluvial fans, southern Pyrenees, Spain.

Ridge suction drives plume-ridge interactions (2004)
Book Chapter
Niu, Y., & Hékinian, R. (2004). Ridge suction drives plume-ridge interactions. In R. Hékinian, P. Stoffers, & J. Cheminée (Eds.), Oceanic hotspots : intraplate submarine magmatism and tectonism (285-307). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-18782-7_10

Deep-sourced mantle plumes, if existing, are genetically independent of plate tectonics. When the ascending plumes approach lithospheric plates, interactions between the two occur. Such interactions are most prominent near ocean ridges where the lith... Read More about Ridge suction drives plume-ridge interactions.
