Controls on subduction reorganization in the Hellenic margin, eastern Mediterranean

In subduction modeling, interactions between the down‐going slab and neighboring plates are often neglected. Here, we have modeled the interactions between a subducting and an upper plate and show that, in such a system, subducting plate advance towards the stationary margin accommodates convergence...
