Continental collisions commonly involve highly curved passive plate margins, leading to diachronous continental subduction during trench rollback. Such systems may feature backarc extension and ophiolite obduction postdating initial collision. Modern...

The Role of Crustal Buoyancy in the Generation and Emplacement of Magmatism During Continental Collision (2019)
Journal Article

During continental collision, considerable amounts of buoyant continental crust subduct to depth and subsequently exhume. Whether various exhumation paths contribute to contrasting styles of magmatism across modern collision zones is unclear. Here we...
