New research reveals a surprising link between the ancient tectonic history of oceanic plates and their fate as they subduct ...

Subduction zones are the most important sites of material exchange between the crust and mantle on Earth. They are also the locations where the largest deposits of strategic metals, such as ...

New findings provide a greater understanding of plate subduction, or how tectonic plates slide beneath one another. This recycling of surface materials and volatile elements deep into the Earth's ...
