Coupled subduction dynamics and continent deformations: understanding the Asian and Red Sea tectonics.

模拟板块拉力和岩石圈变形为板块构造动力学提供了新的视角。揭示断层、裂谷、剪切带和被动边缘的自一致形成将进一步了解我们的星球。此外，将这些模型应用于特定的地质背景，将有助于勘探和评估难以获得的地球资源，例如位于澳大利亚大陆边缘深处的碳氢化合物池，以及与大陆剪切带有关的钻石和矿床，这些资源的潜力仍有待充分发现。

Modeling slab pull forces and lithospheric deformation provides a new insight in the dynamics of plate tectonics. Unraveling the self-consistent formation of faults, rifts, shear zones and up to passive margin will further the understanding of our planet. Furthermore the application of these models to specific geological contexts will support the exploration and assessment of inaccessible Earth's resources, such as hydrocarbons pools, located along the deep Australian continent margins, and diamonds and ore deposits, associated with continental shear zones, which potential is still to be fully discovered.
