Accretion of oceanic island arcs to continents: Mountain belt examples and modern analogues
Session ID#: 77265
Session Description:
Significant volumes of continental growth occur via the structural transfer of oceanic island arc crust to continental margins. A variety of tectonic scenarios can result in arc accretion to continents, i.e.- via a subduction zone dipping beneath the arc (e.g. Taiwan), beneath the continent (e.g. central Honshu, Kamchatka), or more complex pathways involving strike-slip faulting. Once an arc crustal block is accreted, tectonic overprinting can lead to further complexities that may be difficult to unravel. This session aims to look broadly at a full spectrum of modern and ancient arc-continent collisions with a focus on the important tools needed to resolve details for their evolution. We invite contributions that focus on such collisions from the micro- to the macro-scale.
