Ocean Drilling Program Leg 170 Scientific Prospectus Costa Rica Accretionary Wedge
To gain a better understanding of the mechanical and chemical behavior of accretion and underplating and tectonic erosion and to determine how deformation and dewatering are distributed throughout an accretionary prism, it is essential to establish the flow pattern of materials through subduction systems. Leg 170 consists of a program of drilling at four primary sites (proposed Sites CR-1 throu...
متن کاملCrustal structure and apparent tectonic underplating from receiver function analysis in South Island, New Zealand
[1] We utilize seismic converted phases on more than 700 receiver functions calculated for 42 stations in the South Island, New Zealand, to infer crustal and uppermost mantle structure. We determine the crustal thickness from direct observations of conversion from the Moho interface and infer zone of the maximum thickness being located along the axis of the Southern Alps, just east from the Alp...
متن کاملControls on the strength of coupling among climate, erosion, and deformation in two-sided, frictional orogenic wedges at steady state
[1] Many important insights regarding the coupling among climate, erosion, and tectonics have come from numerical simulations using coupled tectonic and surface process models. However, analyses to date have left the strength of the coupling between climate and tectonics uncertain and many questions unanswered. We present an approximate analytical solution for two-sided orogenic wedges obeying ...
متن کاملTectonic wedging along the rear of the offshore Taiwan accretionary prism
The structural geometry, kinematics and density structure along the rear of the offshore Taiwan accretionary prism were studied using seismic reflection profiling and gravity modeling. Deformation between the offshore prism and forearc basin at the point of incipient collision, and southward into the region of subduction, has been interpreted as a tectonic wedge, similar to those observed along...
متن کاملAccretionary prisms in subduction earthquake cycles: The theory of dynamic Coulomb wedge
[1] We expand the theory of critically tapered Coulomb wedge for accretionary prisms by considering stress changes in subduction earthquake cycles. Building on the Coulomb plasticity of the classical theory, we assume an elastic–perfectly Coulomb plastic rheology and derive exact stress solutions for stable and critical wedges. The new theory postulates that the actively deforming, most seaward...
