Journal Article
Bouilhol, P., Magni, V., van Hunen, J., & Kaislaniemi, L. (2015). A numerical approach to melting in warm subduction zones. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 411, 37-44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2014.11.043

The complex feedback between dehydration and melting in hot subduction zones is quantitatively addressed in this study. We present an integrated numerical tool that combines a high-resolution thermo-mechanical subduction model with a thermodynamic da...

Deep water recycling through time (2014)
Journal Article
Magni, V., Bouilhol, P., & van Hunen, J. (2014). Deep water recycling through time. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 15(11), 4203-4216. https://doi.org/10.1002/2014gc005525

We investigate the dehydration processes in subduction zones and their implications for the water cycle throughout Earth's history. We use a numerical tool that combines thermo-mechanical models with a thermodynamic database to examine slab dehydrati... Read More about Deep water recycling through time.

How collision triggers backarc extension: Insight into Mediterranean style of extension from 3-D numerical models (2014)
Journal Article
Magni, V., Faccenna, C., van Hunen, J., & Funiciello, F. (2014). How collision triggers backarc extension: Insight into Mediterranean style of extension from 3-D numerical models. Geology, 42(6), 511-514. https://doi.org/10.1130/g35446.1

The formation and evolution of a backarc basin are linked to the dynamics of the subduction system. The opening of the central Mediterranean basins is a well-documented example of backarc extension characterized by short-lived episodes of spreading....

Delamination vs. break-off: the fate of continental collision (2013)
Journal Article
Magni, V., Faccenna, C., van Hunen, J., & Funiciello, F. (2013). Delamination vs. break-off: the fate of continental collision. Geophysical Research Letters, 40(2), 285-289. https://doi.org/10.1002/grl.50090

The fate of a convergent continental margin is investigated. We perform a set of 2D numerical models to study how and why continental collision can evolve in different scenarios. Since the rheology of continental lithosphere has a major control on th... Read More about Delamination vs. break-off: the fate of continental collision.

Numerical models of slab migration in continental collision zones (2012)
Journal Article
Magni, V., van Hunen, J., Funiciello, F., & Faccenna, C. (2012). Numerical models of slab migration in continental collision zones. Solid Earth, 3(2), 293-306. https://doi.org/10.5194/se-3-293-2012

Continental collision is an intrinsic feature of plate tectonics. The closure of an oceanic basin leads to the onset of subduction of buoyant continental material, which slows down and eventually stops the subduction process. In natural cases, eviden...
