During the past five decades, numerical modeling of subduction, one of the most
challenging and captivating geodynamic processes, remained in the core of geodynamic …

The world's most devastating local and ocean-wide tsunamis are generated by subduction
zone earthquakes, but the mechanisms for powerful seafloor uplift and tsunami generation …

The mechanics of great subduction earthquakes are influenced by the frictional properties,
structure, and composition of the plate-boundary fault. We present observations of the …

Subduction is the major plate driving force, and the strength of the subducting plate controls
many aspects of the thermochemical evolution of Earth. Each subducting plate experiences …

We use body-waveform modelling to constrain the source parameters of earthquakes
occurring globally in oceanic lithosphere beneath the subduction zone outer rise and outer …

The study investigated geomorphology of the Japan Trench located east of Japan, Pacific
Ocean. A high-resolution GEBCO Gridded Bathymetric Dataset was used for modeling …

The diverse mechanical behaviors of subduction zones during the seismic cycle emerge
from the nonlinear dynamics of a complex mechanical system with interacting brittle and …

Using older and in part flawed data, suggested that thick sediment entering the subduction
zone (SZ) smooths and strengthens the trench-parallel distribution of interplate coupling …

Earthquakes occur by overcoming fault friction; therefore, quantifying fault resistance is
central to earthquake physics. Values for both static and dynamic friction are required, and …

Hadal trenches are the deepest places on Earth and are important foci for natural carbon
sequestration. Much of the sedimentary sequences that accumulate within hadal trenches …
