Brief description
The subduction dataset (global subduction and back-arc basin grids and data) includes grid data and images illustrating the global and regional subduction and back-arc basin formation. The investigators examined kinematic controls on subduction and back-arc basins for the present-day and Cenozoic to differentiate between major competing hypotheses for back-arc basin formation, and explain their temporal and spatial distribution.
The subduction dataset includes ten related datasets:
- Global subduction age grid images
- Global subduction parameter dataset
- Tonga-Kermadec subduction system
- Java-Sunda subduction system
- Izu-Bonin-Mariana subduction system
- Aleutian subduction system
- Cascadia subduction system
- Middle America subduction system
- Andes subduction system
Datasets and supporting images are available from the EarthByte website. Grid datasets and images are available for download as Gzipped Tar Files (.tgz; TAR.GZ). Images are presented in .GIF or .JPEG format. For further information please refer to the associated publication.
