The Role of Subduction Interface and Upper Plate Strength on Back-Arc Extension: Application to Mediterranean Back-Arc Basins
Erdős, Zoltán; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Faccenna, Claudio; Wolf, Sebastian Georg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)While there has been a lot of work focusing on improving our understanding of divergent and convergent plate boundaries, the intricate nature of back-arc extension, where subduction and large-scale extension occur and ... -
Wide Versus Narrow Back-Arc Rifting: Control of Subduction Velocity and Convective Back-Arc Thinning
Erdős, Zoltán; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Faccenna, Claudio (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Back-arc basins such as the ones behind the island-arcs of the Western Pacific Ocean or the ones in the Mediterranean Sea are ubiquitous structures of the Earth. They are extensional basins forming in the overriding plate ...
