Abstract The Wrangell Arc in Alaska (USA) and adjacent volcanic fields the Yukon provide a long-term record of interrelations between flat-slab subduction Yakutat microplate, strike-slip translation along Denali–Totschunda–Duke River fault system, magmatism focused within proximal to Cretaceous suture zone. Detrital zircon (DZ) U-Pb (n = 2640) lithic (DARL) 40Ar/39Ar dates 2771) from 30 modern ...

[1] The geometry and properties of the interface of the Cocos plate beneath central Mexico are determined from the receiver functions (RFs) utilizing data from the Meso America Subduction Experiment (MASE). The RF image shows that the subducting oceanic crust is shallowly dipping to the north at 15° for 80 km from Acapulco and then horizontally underplates the continental crust for approximatel...
