Three-dimensional thermo-mechanical modelling unravels the complex deformation history of oblique rifts, transtensional margins, and gneiss domes Throughout the Wilson cycle the obliquity between lithospheric plate motion direction and nascent or existing plate boundaries prompts the development of intricate three-dimensional (3-D) …
Why do back-arcs open and the Andes form? The crustal structures of overriding plates in subduction settings around the world can vary between a wide range of deformation styles, ranging from extensional structures and back arc opening induced by slab roll back as in the …

Ultra high pressure rocks - a window into metamorphic processes occurring in subduction zones
The influence of hillslope angle on landslide initiation and the occurrence of threshold hillslopes The concept of threshold hillslopes has been widely applied to both soil-mantled and bedrock landscapes, postulating that once hillslopes achieve the critical topographic gradient where landslides dominate erosion they cannot steepen further. This process transition …

Adding stratigraphy to landscape evolution model: basin architecture on passive margins & peneplain preservation First, I will present new results on the influence of dynamic topography on passive continental margin stratigraphy. Quantifying the interaction between surface processes and tectonics/deep Earth …

M 8.1 - 87km SW of Pijijiapan, Mexico https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us2000ahv0#executive Opened discussion about this unusual major normal earthquake (MW8.1 - 70 km depth). The September 8th, 2017, M 8.1 earthquake offshore Chiapas, Mexico, occurred as the result of normal faulting at …
Earth surface processes: interacting with the solid Earth, ice and sea level Surface processes change the Earth surface dramatically and interact with the solid Earth, ice, and thereby also global sea level. For instance, changes in topography due to glacial …
