Ultralow frictional healing explains recurring slow slip events
Plate motion on shallow subduction megathrusts is accommodated by a spectrum of tectonic
slip modes. However, the frictional properties and conditions that sustain these diverse slip …

Slow slip along the Hikurangi margin linked to fluid-rich sediments trailing subducting seamounts
Large seamounts and basement relief cause permanent deformation when they collide with
the overriding plate at subduction zones. The resulting structural and compositional …
