Processes and Consequences of Deep Subduction

This volume includes contributions from the fields of geodynamics, seismology, mineral physics, rock mechanics, petrology and geochemistry that present a state of the art overview of modern interdisciplinary research on deep subduction. Topics include subduction dynamics, the nature and cause of deep earthquakes, the origin of subduction-related, and the relationship between continental collision, ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism and subduction.
