The new paper by Geffroy et al. in Tectonics (doi.org/10.1029/2023...@wearetektonika.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.55575/tek...bsky.app/profile/rlac...

🆕 In Habel et al. 2023, we use analogue models (silicone - glucose syrup) to discuss the effect of mantle flow on upper-plate shortening, and mountain building in #Andean #subduction margin context. 🏔️ ⚒️ 🧪 tektonika.online/index.php/ho... Proud and happy that it is published in #TEKTONIKA #DOAJ 1/3

The top of the figure shows an oblique photo of one of our analogue experiments at its final stage. The two plates are made of black silicone. The upper continental plate incorporates a stripe of orange softer silicone. Because of the convergence the upper continental plate has been shortened, and the photo shows that the shortening localizes in the softer silicone stripe. The subducting oceanic slab is hardly seen from this top oblique view but is displayed by the bottom view which is taken from the side of the experiment.
Screenshot of the article first page showing the title "Upper-plate Shortening and Mountain-building in the Context of Mantle-driven Oceanic Subduction", the authors list and the abstract.
