On the dynamics of convergent plate boundaries and stress in the lithosphere.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

The evolution of active continental margins and island arcs is closely related to the process of subduction of (predominantly) oceanic lithosphere. In this paper we deal with some aspects of the dynamics of the subduction process. -from Authors
