Special Paper Collection on Oceanic Detachment Faults

Following the Conference, a Special Collection of Oceanic Detachment Faults papers was set up at AGU's Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems Journal (g-cubed). This collection is still open for submissions, and includes >25 articles to date:  www
