Effective elastic thickness variations along the Andean margin and their relationship to subduction geometry
TL;DR: In this article, a map of the spatial variations in effective elastic thickness, Te, along the Andes estimated using Bouguer coherence is presented, where the authors suggest that variations in slab dip along the margin relate to variations in structure of the continental lithosphere.
Intra-arc extension in Central America: Links between plate motions, tectonics, volcanism, and geochemistry
TL;DR: This paper revisited the kinematics and tectonics of Central America subduction, synthesizing observations of marine bathymetry, high-resolution land topography, current plate motions, and the recent seismotectonic and magmatic history in this region.

Intraplate termination of transform faulting within the Antarctic continent
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that combined geological and geophysical data in northeastern Antarctica support the post-rift southeastward reactivation of the passive margin east of 139°E along intraplate right-lateral strike-slip deformation belts.

On subducting slab entrainment of buoyant asthenosphere
J. Phipps Morgan,Jörg Hasenclever,Jörg Hasenclever,Matthias Hort,Lars Rüpke,Lars Rüpke,E. M. Parmentier +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the lower (hot) side of a subducting slab entrains by the formation of a ∼10-30 km-thick downdragged layer, whose thickness depends upon the subduction rate and the density contrast and viscosity of the asthenosphere.
Variation of effective elastic thickness and melt production along the Deccan–Reunion hotspot track
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the effective elastic thickness (Te) along the Deccan-Reunion hotspot track using admittance analysis of seafloor topography and the free-air gravity field, both corrected for the thermal effects of a cooling lithosphere.
