Research Opportunities
The database is designed to facilitate research on geologic responses to continental collisions. Current interest in the community ranges from fundamental Earth dynamic questions to those offering a better understanding of natural hazards. Some examples are given below; 1) Arc-trench rollback 2) Ophiolite genesis 3) Slab detachment 4) Lithosphere delamination	Model for ophiolite gneisses (Flower et al. 2001)
