Journal ArticleDOI
Subduction zone infancy: Examples from the Eocene Izu-Bonin-Mariana and Jurassic California arcs
TL;DR: A new model for the earliest stages in the evolution of subduction zones is developed from recent geologic studies of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) arc system and then applied to Late Jurassic ophiolites of Cailfornia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fore-arc basalts and subduction initiation in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana system
Mark K. Reagan,Osamu Ishizuka,Robert J. Stern,Katherine A. Kelley,Yasuhiko Ohara,Janne Blichert-Toft,Sherman H. Bloomer,Jennifer Cash,Patricia Fryer,Barry B. Hanan,Rosemary Hickey-Vargas,Teruaki Ishii,Jun-Ichi Kimura,David W. Peate,Michael C. Rowe,Melinda Woods +15 more
TL;DR: A recent dive with the JAMSTEC Shinkai 6500 manned submersible in the Mariana fore arc southeast of Guam has discovered that MORB-like tholeiitic basalts crop out over large areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical mapping of the Mariana arc‐basin system: Implications for the nature and distribution of subduction components
TL;DR: In this article, a new ICP-MS database for glasses from the Mariana Trough was used to provide the basis for a geochemical mapping of the arc-basin system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isotopic and geochemical provinces of the western Indian Ocean Spreading Centers
John J. Mahoney,James H. Natland,William M. White,R. Poreda,Sherman H. Bloomer,Robert L. Fisher,A. N. Baxter +6 more
TL;DR: Basalt glasses from the Central Indian Ridge are distinct isotopically from mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) of the Indian Ocean triple junction and western few hundred kilometers of the Southeast Indian Ridge.

Early Arc Volcanism and the Ophiolite Problem: A Perspective from Drilling in the Western Pacific
Sherman H. Bloomer,Brian Taylor,Christopher J. MacLeod,Robert J. Stern,Patricia Fryer,James W. Hawkins,Lynn E. Johnson +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the initial phases of volcanism in these subduction zones developed nearly synchronously in the middle to late Eocene over a zone up to 300 km wide and thousands of kilometers long.
