Magmatism controls global oceanic transform fault topography
Oceanic transform faults play an essential role in plate tectonics. Yet to date, there is no
unifying explanation for the global trend in broad-scale transform fault topography, ranging …

Seismic anisotropy indicates organized melt beneath the Mid-Atlantic Ridge aids seafloor spreading
Lithospheric plates diverge at mid-ocean ridges and asthenospheric mantle material rises in
response. The rising material decompresses, which can result in partial melting, potentially …

Shear-wave velocity structure of the Blanco oceanic transform fault zone
Oceanic transform faults (OTFs) facilitate hydrothermal circulation which can modify the fault
zone materials and affect their rheological evolution. However, the depth extent and …

SMatStack to enhance noisy teleseismic seismic phases: Validation and application to resolving depths of oceanic transform earthquakes
H Fang, RE Abercrombie - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The depths of most moderate‐sized oceanic earthquakes are poorly constrained because of
the lack of local recording stations and noisy teleseismic recordings. This hampers our …

Broad fault zones enable deep fluid transport and limit earthquake magnitudes
Constraining the controlling factors of fault rupture is fundamentally important. Fluids
influence earthquake locations and magnitudes, although the exact pathways through the …
