Water migration in the subduction mantle wedge: a two-phase flow approach Hongliang Wang, Ritske S. Huismans, and Stéphane Rondenay Subduction zones are the main entry points of water into earth’s mantle and play an important role in the global …
Modeling potential paleoearthquakes based on results from subaquatic mass movements in Western Norway During my PhD as a Quaternary geologist, I did quite some work on turbidite paleoseimology in west- and mid-Norway, with some very interesting outcomings. I was further …
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 …
