Recent progresses in plate subduction and element recycling by Cong-Ying Li, Sai-Jun Sun, Xuan Guo, Hong-Li Zhu

“…New findings on behaviours of elements and the recycling of a variety of volatile components during plate subduction have been made by the Strategic Priority Research Program (B) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. …”

The subduction dichotomy of strong plates and weak slabs by R. I. Petersen, D. R. Stegman, P. J. Tackley

“…A key element of plate tectonics on Earth is that the lithosphere is subducting into the mantle. Subduction results from forces that bend and pull the lithosphere into the interior of the Earth. …”

A community benchmark for subduction zone modeling by van Keken, P, Currie, C, King, S, Behn, MD, Cagnioncle, A, He, J, Katz, R, Lin, S, Parmentier, E, Spiegelman, M, Wang, K

“…We have developed a suite of benchmarks to facilitate the comparison of numerical models for the dynamics and thermal structure of subduction zones. The benchmark cases are based on a thermomechanical approach in which the slab is prescribed kinematically and the wedge flow is computed dynamically. …”

New constraints on Cenozoic subduction between India and Tibet by Liang Liu, Lijun Liu, Jason. P. Morgan, Yi-Gang Xu, Ling Chen

“…By evaluating model predictions with multiple geological data, the study shows that Tibetan tectonism is most consistent with the initial indentation of a cratonic terrane, followed by subduction of a buoyant tectonic plate resembling a continental margin.…”
