We describe and present a new model of global subduction zone geometries, called Slab1.
0. An extension of previous efforts to constrain the two‐dimensional non‐planar geometry of …

Subduction zones are home to the most seismically active faults on the planet. The shallow
megathrust interfaces of subduction zones host Earth's largest earthquakes and are likely …

The Hikurangi subduction zone extends along the eastern North Island of New Zealand
southward into the northern portion of the South Island. It has drawn considerable recent …

The maximum earthquake magnitude recorded for subduction zone plate boundaries varies
considerably on Earth, with some subduction zone segments producing giant subduction …

Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of
subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained …

Intraslab seismicity within the Hikurangi and Puysegur subduction zones constitutes> 50%
of recorded (M w≥ 4.0 events) earthquakes in Aotearoa New Zealand. Here, we develop a …

In subduction zones, the size of the seismogenic zone that ruptures during a great thrust
earthquake may be thermally controlled. We have constructed finite element thermal models …

Inferring the circulation of the mantle around subducting plates from surface measurements
of shear wave splitting patterns remains to date elusive. To assist the interpretation of the …

We use data from the Chile Argentina Geophysical Experiment (CHARGE) broad-band
seismic deployment to refine past observations of the geometry and deformation within the …

The influence of flat slab subduction on the formation of intra-slab earthquakes, volcanic
activities and mantle seismic velocity anomalies remains unclear. We attempt to better …
