Explore cutting-edge research in plate tectonics and geodynamics through this comprehensive conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into topics ranging from continental collision and slab break-off to mantle plume interactions with subduction zones. Examine the latest findings on outer rise deformation in the Tonga subduction system, the strength of large-scale plate boundaries, and the dynamics of the Philippine Sea plate. Investigate the influence of mantle flow on continental breakup and convergence, and learn about the deflection of mantle flow controlled by slab-cratonic keel interactions. Gain insights into numerical modeling techniques and their applications in understanding complex geodynamic processes. Discover how these studies contribute to our understanding of dynamic topography, trench migration, and magmatism in plate tectonic systems.
