Continental collision and slab break-off: a comparison of 3-D numerical models with observations (2011)
Journal Article
van Hunen, J., & Allen, M. (2011). Continental collision and slab break-off: a comparison of 3-D numerical models with observations. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 302(1-2), 27-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2010.11.035

Conditions and dynamics of subduction-collision and subsequent 3-D slab break-off and slab tear propagation are quantified, for the first time, using fully dynamic numerical models. Model results indicate that collision after the subduction of old, s... Read More about Continental collision and slab break-off: a comparison of 3-D numerical models with observations.

Repeat ridge jumps associated with plume‐ridge interaction, melt transport, and ridge migration (2011)
Journal Article
Mittelstaedt, E., Ito, G., & van Hunen, J. (2011). Repeat ridge jumps associated with plume‐ridge interaction, melt transport, and ridge migration. Journal of Geophysical Research, 116, https://doi.org/10.1029/2010jb007504

Repeated shifts, or jumps, of mid-ocean ridge segments toward nearby hot spots can produce large, long-term changes to the geometry and location of the tectonic plate boundaries. Ridge jumps associated with hot spot–ridge interaction are likely cause... Read More about Repeat ridge jumps associated with plume‐ridge interaction, melt transport, and ridge migration.
