  • This work establishes a unified framework where mantle plumelet dynamics, slab segmentation, and drip-like arc removal govern multi-scale deformation and seismicity in the Arabian-Eurasian post-subduction collision.

  • Here, global mantle flow is computed on the basis of recent, high-resolution seismic tomography, to investigate the role of buoyancy-driven and plate-motion-induced mantle circulation in the Mediterranean region. The findings show that mantle flow explains much of the observed dynamic topography and microplate motion in the region. Small-scale convection in the uppermost mantle may also hold the key to understanding complex mobile belts elsewhere.

  • Upper-plate aftershocks following megathrust earthquakes pose additional risks to nearby cities. Here, the authors present a 4D model of the 2014 Mw 8.2 Iquique earthquake that identifies postseismic pore-pressure diffusion as the main driver of upper-plate aftershocks.

  • The mountain ranges of northeast Japan were formed by the Ryukyu/Izu–Bonin–Marianas same-dip double subduction system in a process that may have driven other non-collisional orogens, according to geologically constrained three-dimensional geodynamic simulations.

  • Closure of the Tethys Seaway marked the last connection between the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans. This Review explores how mantle convection and associated volcanic activity caused Tethys Seaway closure and discusses the implications for ocean circulation, faunal diversification and climate.

  • Results from mantle flow models reveal a relationship between seismicity away from the plate boundary in the western United States and the rate change of the vertical normal stress from mantle flow, showing that mantle flow plays an important part in shaping topography, tectonics and seismic hazard within such intraplate settings.
