Driving the upper plate surface deformation by slab rollback and mantle flow (2014, background): “By varying the crustal thickness of the upper plate (C1) along the trench-parallel direction (z) one can control the slab descent rates (Nikolaeva et al. 2010) and therefore generate a tear in the slab.”
Subduction initiation in nature and models: A review (2017, methodology): “In order to overcome these difficulties, an iterative approach seems optimal, which incorporates observations- and concepts-inspired modeling (e.g., Regenauer-Lieb et al., 2001; Nikolaeva et al., 2010; Marques et al., 2013; Duretz et al., 2016)”
Numerical modelling of spontaneous slab breakoff and subsequent topographic response (2011, background): “Despite the fact that subduction initiation can be modelled in a geologically more relevant manner (Gerya et al., 2008; Ueda et al., 2008; Nikolaeva et al., 2010), the use of such a weak zone remains useful for our specific setup.”
