Along arc heterogeneity in local seismicity across the Lesser Antilles subduction zone from a dense ocean-bottom seismometer network (2019)
Journal Article
Bie, L., Rietbrock, A., Hicks, S., Allen, R., Blundy, J., Clouard, V., Collier, J., Davidson, J., Garth, T., Goes, S., Harmon, N., Henstock, T., Van Hunen, J., Kendall, M., Krüger, F., Lynch, L., MacPherson, C., Robertson, R., Rychert, K., Tait, S., …Wilson, M. (2020). Along arc heterogeneity in local seismicity across the Lesser Antilles subduction zone from a dense ocean-bottom seismometer network. Seismological Research Letters, 9(1), 237-247. https://doi.org/10.1785/0220190147

The Lesser Antilles arc is only one of two subduction zones where slow‐spreading Atlantic lithosphere is consumed. Slow‐spreading may result in the Atlantic lithosphere being more pervasively and heterogeneously hydrated than fast‐spreading Pacific l...

The Role of Crustal Buoyancy in the Generation and Emplacement of Magmatism During Continental Collision (2019)
Journal Article
Schliffke, N., Hunen, J., Magni, V., & Allen, M. B. (2019). The Role of Crustal Buoyancy in the Generation and Emplacement of Magmatism During Continental Collision. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 20(11), 4693-4709. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019gc008590

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...

Mapping geologic features onto subducted slabs (2019)
Journal Article
Harmon, N., Rychert, C., Collier, J., Henstock, T., van Hunen, J., & Wilkinson, J. J. (2019). Mapping geologic features onto subducted slabs. Geophysical Journal International, 219(2), 725-733. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggz290

Estimating the location of geologic and tectonic features on a subducting plate is important for interpreting their spatial relationships with other observables including seismicity, seismic velocity and attenuation anomalies, and the location of ore...

Segmentation of rifts through structural inheritance: Creation of the Davis Strait (2019)
Journal Article
Heron, P., Peace, A., McCaffrey, K., Welford, J., Wilson, R., van Hunen, J., & Pysklywec, R. (2019). Segmentation of rifts through structural inheritance: Creation of the Davis Strait. Tectonics, 38(7), 2411-2430. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019tc005578

Mesozoic‐Cenozoic rifting between Greenland and North America created the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay, while leaving preserved continental lithosphere in the Davis Strait which lies between them. Inherited crustal structures from a Palaeoproterozoic... Read More about Segmentation of rifts through structural inheritance: Creation of the Davis Strait.

Analogue modeling of plate rotation effects in transform margins and rift-transform intersections (2019)
Journal Article
Farangitakis, G., Sokoutis, D., McCaffrey, K., Willingshofer, E., Kalnins, L., Phethean, J., van Hunen, J., & van Steen, V. (2019). Analogue modeling of plate rotation effects in transform margins and rift-transform intersections. Tectonics, 13(3), 823-841. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018tc005261

Transform margins are first‐order tectonic features that accommodate oceanic spreading. Uncertainties remain about their evolution, genetic relationship to oceanic spreading, and general structural character. When the relative motion of the plates ch...

Modeling Slab Temperature: a Reevaluation of the Thermal Parameter (2019)
Journal Article
Maunder, B., van Hunen, J., Bouilhol, P., & Magni, V. (2019). Modeling Slab Temperature: a Reevaluation of the Thermal Parameter. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 20(2), 673-687. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018gc007641

We re‐evaluate the effects of slab age, speed and dip on slab temperature with numerical models. The Thermal Parameter Φ =t v sin θ, where t is age, v is speed, and θ is angle, is traditionally used as an indicator of slab temperature. However, we fi...
