ON THE THERMODYNAMICS OF SUBDUCTION by Marshall, D, Marshall, J

“…For a parcel of fluid in the mixed layer to pass into the stratified thermocline - to subduct - it must be stratified by buoyancy input; this buoyancy can be supplied by local air-sea exchange and/or by lateral advective processes. …”

Melting of subducted sediments reconciles geophysical images of subduction zones by M. W. Förster, K. Selway

“…Here, the authors identify that magnetotelluric conductive anomalies commonly observed on the trenchward-side of volcanic arcs in subduction zones can be explained by subducted sediments. …”

A role for subducted albite in the water cycle and alkalinity of subduction fluids by Gil Chan Hwang, Huijeong Hwang, Yoonah Bang, Jinhyuk Choi, Yong Park, Tae-Yeol Jeon, Boknam Chae, Haemyeong Jung, Yongjae Lee

“…Here, the authors report that under hydrous cold subduction conditions, albite undergoes breakdown into hydrated smectite and other phases, which release alkaline fluids into the mantle wedge.…”

Seamount Subduction and Earthquakes by Watts, A, Koppers, A, Robinson, D

“…When a seamount enters a subduction zone, it has a major affect on forearc morphology, the uplift history of the island arc, and the structure of the downgoing slab. …”

A subduction influence on ocean ridge basalts outside the Pacific subduction shield by A. Y. Yang, C. H. Langmuir, Y. Cai, P. Michael, S. L. Goldstein, Z. Chen

“…We discover a pervasive subduction influence in the Arctic, Atlantic and Indian mantle, which is nearly absent in the Pacific mantle. …”

Subduction age and stress state control on seismicity in the NW Pacific subducting plate by Nicola Alessandro Pino, Vincenzo Convertito, Cataldo Godano, Claudia Piromallo

“…The mechanisms proposed to explain deep earthquakes, mainly depending on the subducting plate age and stress state, are generally expressed by single parameters, unsuitable to comprehensively account for differences among distinct subduction zones or within the same slab. …”
