How Does the Continental Crust Get Really Hot (2011, background): “Back-arc basins are regions of thinned continental lithosphere with high mantle heat fl ow and Moho temperatures as high as 800 °C (Currie and Hyndman 2006).”
Fluid flow in subduction zones: The role of solid rheology and compaction pressure (2014, neutral): “This is constrained by observations of heat flow (Springer and Förster, 1998; Hyndman and Peacock, 2003; Tanaka et al., 2004; Currie and Hyndman, 2006) and seismic attenuation (Nakajima and Hasegawa, 2003; Stachnik et al., 2004; Yoshimoto et al., 2006; Rychert et al., 2008) that demonstrate a sharp…”
Subduction-triggered magmatic pulses: A new class of plumes? (2010, background): “The heat flow distribution on non-extending back-arc region confirms that the lithosphere is thinner than expected (Currie and Hyndman, 2006).”
