Orogenic belts at oblique convergent subduction margins accommodate deformation in several trench parallel domains, one of which is the magmatic arc, commonly regarded as taking up the margin-parallel, strike-slip component. ...

Strike-slip faults are commonly assumed to influence magma transport and emplacement in the Earth’s crust. However, direct observations of magma conduits within strike-slip faults are lacking. Here we provide some of the ...

Most structural/kinematic models are inherently two-dimensional; even several recent three-dimensional models are "pseudo-three-dimensional" in that they consist of a series of parallel two-dimensional cross sections. Lack ...

This study addresses the interplay between strain/stress fields and paleo-fluid migration in the Southern Andean Volcanic Zone (SVZ). The SVZ coexists with the margin-parallel Liquine-Ofqui Fault System (LOFS) and with ...

Based on the principle that faults develop where shear stress is maximum, we determine the depth-dependent geometry of margin-parallel strike-slip faults within oblique subduction zones. Using an elastic half-space model ...
