Plate tectonics on the early Earth: Limitations imposed by strength and buoyancy of subducted lithosphere (2008, background): “Although dierent in frequency and size, these processes show some similarities with slab detachment, as suggested to occur today in three-dimensional settings in final stages of a subduction process, for example at the closure of an oceanic basin ( Wortel and Spakman, 2000 ).”
Kinematics of subduction and subduction-induced flow in the upper mantle (2004, positive): “4.2. Comparison With Nature [40] The experimental results of the fixed trailing edge experiments (Figure 2a) lend themselves particularly well for comparison with tomography images across the Calabrian arc [Lucente et al., 1999] and Carpathian arc [ Wortel and Spakman, 2000 ], because the horizontal”
Subduction-triggered magmatic pulses: A new class of plumes? (2010, positive): “Tectonic reconstructions based on kinematic models show that the accumulation of this material in the western Mediterranean started synchronously, in the late Tertiary, behind the Alps, the Carpathians and the central Mediterranean (Jolivet and Faccenna, 2000; Piromallo and Faccenna, 2004; Wortel an”
Numerical modelling of spontaneous slab breakoff and subsequent topographic response (2011, background): “The concept of slab breakoff comes from the analysis of seismic tomography data where positive seismic velocity anomalies can be observed under collision zones are often interpreted as detached slab segments (Wortel and Spakman, 2000).”
GPS constraints on Africa (Nubia) and Arabia plate motions (2003, background): “Slab detachment and lithospheric delamination have also been proposed as influencing the character of surface deformation in the Mediterranean (e.g. Seber et al. 1996; Wortel & Spakman 2000).”
A free plate surface and weak oceanic crust produce single‐sided subduction on Earth (2012, background): “However in recent Earth history, plate tectonics is certainly characterized by single-sided subduction as observed nowadays by seismic tomography [King, 2001; Wortel and Spakman, 2000; Zhao, 2004].”
P‐ and S‐velocity anomalies in the upper mantle beneath Europe from tomographic inversion of ISC data (2009, background): “On the other hand, some areas of Central and Western Europe (e.g. the Rhine Graben) are characterized by extensional tectonics and stresses (e.g. Olaiz et al. 2009), which are probably related to Cenozoic upper-mantle plume activity (e.g. Ziegler 1992).”
Global adjoint tomography—model GLAD-M25 (2020, background): “We see slab ponding in the transition zone beneath the western Mediterranean associated with slab roll-back of the Appennines-Maghrebides subduction zone (Wortel & Spakman 2000; Zhu et al. 2012).”
