Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Deep earthquakes behave like shallow earthquakes but must have fundamentally different
physical processes. Their rupture behaviors, magnitude-frequency statistics, and aftershocks …

A recent global compilation of the thermal structure of subduction zones is used to predict
the metamorphic facies and H2O content of downgoing slabs. Our calculations indicate that …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

We report seismic evidence for the transportation of water into the deep mantle in the
subduction zone beneath northeastern Japan. Our data indicate that water is released from …

We find that in young and warm subducting plates, earthquakes occur just below the Moho.
In older plates, earthquakes occur throughout the subducting oceanic crust, as well as the …

In this study, we present high‐resolution seismicity images of the northern Chile subduction
zone forearc. We used 8 years of continuous seismic waveform data from the Integrated …

Intermediate-depth earthquakes in cold subduction zones are observed within the
subducting oceanic crust, as well as the mantle,. In contrast, intermediate-depth earthquakes …

We first determine the configuration of the upper surface of the Pacific (PAC) slab beneath
Kanto, Japan, from the distribution of interplate earthquakes relocated by an appropriate 1 …

Hydration of the subducting oceanic plate determines the amount of water transported from
Earth's surface into its interior, and plate bending-related faulting (bend faulting) just prior to …
