    Subduction zones are pivotal for the recycling of Earth’s outer layer into its interior. However, the conditions under which new subduction zones initiate are enigmatic. Here, we constructed a transdisciplinary database ...

    We present three-dimensional numerical models to investigate the dynamics of continental collision, and in particular what happens to the subducted continental lithosphere after oceanic slab break-off. We find that in some ...

    Continental collisions commonly involve highly curved passive plate margins, leading to diachronous continental subduction during trench rollback. Such systems may feature back-arc extension and ophiolite obduction postdating ...

    First‐order variations in sea level exhibit amplitudes of ∼200 m over periods that coincide with those of supercontinental cycles (∼300–500 Myr). Proposed mechanisms for this sea level change include processes that change ...

    Mantle flow is a key feature that can affect melt production and composition in and around subduction zones. In this study, I use three-dimensional numerical models to investigate the role of mantle flow on subduction-related ...

    Abstract Spreading centre jumps are a common feature of oceanic back-arc basins. Jumps are conventionally suggested to be triggered by plate velocity changes, pre-existing weaknesses, or punctuated events such as the opening ...

    Decades of geochronological work have shown the temporal distribution of zircon ages to be episodic on billion-year timescales and seemingly coincident with the lifecycle of supercontinents, but the physical processes ...

    Microcontinents and continental fragments are pieces of continental lithosphere, formed by extension and breakup, followed by plate boundary relocations. Microcontinents or continental fragments affiliated with passive ...

    The important role played by the upper plate in convergence zones dynamics has long been underestimated but is now more and more emphasized. However, the influence of its thickness and/or strength on orogenic systems ...

    The magmatic processes occurring in the lowermost arc crust play a major role in the evolution of mantle-wedge-derived melt. Geological evidence indicates that mantle-derived magmas and in-situ products of lower crust ...
  • Magni, Valentina (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2017)
    The processes that form and recycle continental crust have changed through time. Numerical models reveal an evolution from extensive recycling on early Earth as the lower crust peeled away, to limited recycling via slab ...
  • Magni, Valentina; Naliboff, John; Prada, Manel; Gaina, Carmen (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Back-arc basins in continental settings can develop into oceanic basins, when extension lasts long enough to break up the continental lithosphere and allow mantle melting that generates new oceanic crust. Often, the basement ...

    Abstract The transition between non‐rifted continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere in rifted margins can display a wide range of characteristics, depending on the regional tectonic evolution. The velocity and ...
  • Schliffke, Nicholas; van Hunen, Jeroen; Magni, Valentina; Allen, Mark B. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    During continental collision, considerable amounts of buoyant continental crust subduct to depth and subsequently exhume. Whether various exhumation paths contribute to contrasting styles of magmatism across modern collision ...
