Intraplate volcanism with complex age-distance patterns: A case for small-scale sublithospheric convection (2009)
Journal Article
Ballmer, M. D., van Hunen, J., Ito, G., Bianco, T. A., & Tackley, P. J. (2009). Intraplate volcanism with complex age-distance patterns: A case for small-scale sublithospheric convection. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 10, https://doi.org/10.1029/2009gc002386

Many volcano chains in the Pacific do not follow the most fundamental predictions of hot spot theory in terms of geographic age progressions. One possible explanation for non-hot spot intraplate volcanism is small-scale sublithospheric convection (SS...

Control of seafloor aging on the migration of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana trench (2009)
Journal Article
Faccenna, C., Di Giuseppe, E., Funiciello, F., Lallemand, S., & van Hunen, J. (2009). Control of seafloor aging on the migration of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana trench. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 288(3-4), 386-398. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2009.09.042

Recent global kinematic studies reveal that most of the trenches roll back but a significant number of them advance toward the upper plate. Those advancing trenches are mostly located in the Western Pacific and correspond to the subduction of very ol...

Geochemical and numerical constraints on Neoarchean plate tectonics (2009)
Journal Article
Halla, J., van Hunen, J., Heilimo, E., & Holtta, P. (2009). Geochemical and numerical constraints on Neoarchean plate tectonics. Precambrian Research, 174, 155-162

This paper discusses early Neoarchean (2.8–2.7 Ga) plate tectonics by integrating knowledge from new geochemical observations and numerical models. Based on a geochemical dataset of 295 granitoid samples from the Karelian and Kola cratons of the Fenn... Read More about Geochemical and numerical constraints on Neoarchean plate tectonics.

Reduced oceanic seismic anisotropy by small-scale convection (2009)
Journal Article
van Hunen, J., & Cadek, O. (2009). Reduced oceanic seismic anisotropy by small-scale convection. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 284(3-4), 622-629. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2009.05.034

Amplitudes of azimuthal seismic anisotropy below the Pacific plate are observed to decrease with lithospheric age, whereas an increase is expected due to ongoing shearing between the plate and the underlying mantle. We illustrate that the convective... Read More about Reduced oceanic seismic anisotropy by small-scale convection.

On the relation between trench migration, seafloor age, and the strength of the subducting lithosphere (2009)
Journal Article
Di Giuseppe, E., Faccenna, C., Funiciello, F., van Hunen, J., & Giardini, D. (2009). On the relation between trench migration, seafloor age, and the strength of the subducting lithosphere. Lithosphere, 1, 121-128. https://doi.org/10.1130/l26.1

Oceanic lithosphere thickens and strengthens as it grows older. Worldwide databases reveal that the age of the slab to a certain extent controls the subduction style. Old and thick (and consequently strong) slabs show a trench “advance,” while younge...

No evidence for thermogenic methane release in coal from the Karoo-Ferrar large igneous province (2009)
Journal Article
Gröcke, D., Rimmer, S., Yoksoulian, L., Cairncross, B., Tsikos, H., & van Hunen, J. (2009). No evidence for thermogenic methane release in coal from the Karoo-Ferrar large igneous province. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 277(1-2), 204-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2008.10.022

The Early Jurassic Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (T-OAE) and concurrent negative carbon-isotope (δ13C) excursion have recently been attributed to either the release of methane (CH4) clathrates or thermogenic CH4 gas associated with the Karoo-Ferrar l...
