The subduction plate interface: Rock record and mechanical coupling (from long to short timescales)

P Agard, A Plunder, S Angiboust, G Bonnet, J Ruh - Lithos, 2018 - Elsevier
Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Deformation cycles of subduction earthquakes in a viscoelastic Earth

K Wang, Y Hu, J He - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
Subduction zones produce the largest earthquakes. Over the past two decades, space
geodesy has revolutionized our view of crustal deformation between consecutive …

Slow slip near the trench at the Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand

LM Wallace, SC Webb, Y Ito, K Mochizuki, R Hino… - Science, 2016 - science.org
The range of fault slip behaviors near the trench at subduction plate boundaries is critical to

Invited review paper: Fault creep caused by subduction of rough seafloor relief

K Wang, SL Bilek - Tectonophysics, 2014 - Elsevier
Among the wide range of thermal, petrologic, hydrological, and structural factors that
potentially affect subduction earthquakes, the roughness of the subducting seafloor is …

[HTML][HTML] Subduction zone megathrust earthquakes

SL Bilek, T Lay - Geosphere, 2018 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

Invited review paper: Some outstanding issues in the study of great megathrust earthquakes—The Cascadia example

K Wang, AM Tréhu - Journal of Geodynamics, 2016 - Elsevier
Because of a combination of new observational tools and a flurry of large megathrust
earthquakes, tremendous progress has been made in recent years towards understanding …

Strength of stick-slip and creeping subduction megathrusts from heat flow observations

X Gao, K Wang - Science, 2014 - science.org
Subduction faults, called megathrusts, can generate large and hazardous earthquakes. The
mode of slip and seismicity of a megathrust is controlled by the structural complexity of the …

A review on slow earthquakes in the Japan Trench

T Nishikawa, S Ide, T Nishimura - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 - Springer
Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

Mechanical and hydrological effects of seamount subduction on megathrust stress and slip

T Sun, D Saffer, S Ellis - Nature Geoscience, 2020 - nature.com
Subduction of rough seafloor and seamounts is thought to impact a broad range of
geodynamic processes, including megathrust slip behaviour, forearc fluid flow and long-term …

Simultaneous long‐term and short‐term slow slip events at the Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand: Implications for processes that control slow slip event …
