Reconstructing subducted oceanic lithosphere by "reverse-engineering" slab geometries: the northern Philippine Sea Plate (2017)
Journal Article
Pownall, J. M., Lister, G. S., & Spakman, W. (2017). Reconstructing subducted oceanic lithosphere by "reverse-engineering" slab geometries: the northern Philippine Sea Plate. Tectonics, 36(9), 1814-1834. https://doi.org/10.1002/2017TC004686

Subducting slabs commonly acquire complex geometries from the migration of subduction trenches, slab‐mantle interaction, slab tearing, and collision of slabs at depth. Although it is possible to construct three‐dimensional models of subducted slabs u...

Hot lherzolite exhumation, UHT migmatite formation, and acid volcanism driven by Miocene rollback of the Banda Arc, eastern Indonesia (2017)
Journal Article
Pownall, J. M., Hall, R., & Armstrong, R. A. (2017). Hot lherzolite exhumation, UHT migmatite formation, and acid volcanism driven by Miocene rollback of the Banda Arc, eastern Indonesia. Gondwana Research, 51, 92-117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2017.07.003

The northern Banda Arc, eastern Indonesia, exposes upper mantle/lower crustal complexes comprising lherzolites and granulite facies migmatites of the ‘Kobipoto Complex’. Residual garnet–sillimanite granulites, which contain spinel + quartz inclusions...
