At subduction zones, fluid flow, pore pressure, and tectonic processes are tightly
interconnected. Excess pore pressure is driven by tectonic loading and fluids released by …

It has been known for a long time that slip accompanying earthquakes accounts for only a
fraction of plate tectonic displacements. However, only recently has a fuller spectrum of …

We expand the theory of critically tapered Coulomb wedge for accretionary prisms by
considering stress changes in subduction earthquake cycles. Building on the Coulomb …

We document a sequence of simultaneous short‐term and long‐term slow slip events
(SSEs) at the Hikurangi subduction zone during the 2010/2011 period. The sequence of …

Recent studies of slow earthquakes along plate boundaries have shown that tectonic tremor,
low-frequency earthquakes, very-low-frequency events (VLFEs), and slow-slip events …

We report characteristic P wave spectra and stress drops of very low frequency (VLF)
earthquakes that occurred within the accretionary prism along the Nankai Trough …

The shallow part of a seismogenic subduction zone is thought to play an important role in
tsunami genesis during large interplate thrust earthquakes. Near the updip portion of the …

Observations of seafloor morphologies and environments made before and after the 2011
Tohoku-oki earthquake reveal open fissures, generated during the earthquake, where the …

Non-volcanic tremor and related slow earthquakes in subduction zones are one of the most
significant and exciting geophysical discoveries of the 21st century. In Japan, some types of …

In 2011 we acquired an 11× 55 km, 3‐D seismic reflection volume across the Costa Rica
margin, NW of the Osa Peninsula, to accurately image the subduction thrust in 3‐D, to …
