  • Modeling Slab‐Slab Interactions: Dynamics of Outward Dipping Double‐Sided Subduction Systems 
    Kiraly, Agnes; Holt, Adam; Funiciello, Francesca; Faccenna, Claudio; Capitanio, Fabio A. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    Slab‐slab interaction is a characteristic feature of tectonically complex areas. Outward dipping double‐sided subduction is one of these complex cases, which has several examples on Earth, most notably the Molucca Sea and ...
  • On the role of slab pull in the Cenozoic motion of the Pacific plate 
    Faccenna, Claudio; Becker, Thorsten W.; Lallemand, Serge; Steinberger, Bernard (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2012)
    We analyze the role of slab pull acting on the Pacific plate during its early Tertiary change in motion. Slab pull forces are estimated by integrating the negative buoyancy of a 700 km long slab along a revised subduction ...
  • Opposite Subduction Polarity in Adjacent Plate Segments 
    Peral, Mireia; Kiraly, Agnes; Zlotnik, Sergio; Funiciello, Francesca; Fernandez, Manel; Faccenna, Claudio; Vergés, Jaume (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    Active and fossil subduction systems consisting of two adjacent plates with opposite retreating directions occur in several areas on Earth, as the Mediterranean or Western Pacific. The goal of this work is to better ...
