Session Overview:
Subduction mélanges are complex geological archives that record polycyclic deformation, influenced by the mechanical mixing of materials from different lithospheric domains. These mélanges play a vital role in the mechanical, geochemical, and tectonic evolution of subduction zones, impacting fault behavior, fluid flow, metamorphism, deformation, and seismic activity — including Slow Slip Events (SSEs).
This session welcomes multidisciplinary contributions that explore the role of subduction mélanges across a range of scales and methods, including:
- Structural, petrological, and geochemical studies of subduction mélanges
- Laboratory and numerical experiments investigating mélange effects on subduction zone mechanics and thermal regimes
- Geophysical studies linking mélange characteristics to SSE occurrence and seismic hazards
We aim to foster a vibrant, interdisciplinary discussion that connects mélange geology with the spatial and temporal distribution of seismic activity in convergent margins.
Session Conveners: Prof. Manuel Roda (University of Milan, Italy) and Prof. John Wakabayashi (California State University, Fresno).
Invited Speaker: Prof. Whitney Behr (ETH Zürich).
Cordiali saluti,
