SUMMARY:A trans-disciplinary and community-driven database to unravel subd
 uction zone initiation - Fabio Crameri (University of Oslo)

DESCRIPTION:Subduction zones are pivotal for the recycling of Earth’s ou
 ter layer into its interior. However\, the conditions under which new subd
 uction zones initiate are enigmatic. I will provide an overview over a tra
 nsdisciplinary database featuring detailed analysis of more than a dozen d
 ocumented subduction zone initiation events from the last hundred million 
 years. The initial findings reveal that horizontally forced subduction zon
 e initiation is dominant over the last 100 Ma\, and that most initiation e
 vents are proximal to pre-existing subduction zones. The SZI Database is e
 xpandable to facilitate access to the most current understanding of subduc
 tion zone initiation as research progresses\, providing a community platfo
 rm that establishes a common language to sharpen discussion across the Ear
 th Science community.
