Do subducting seamounts generate or stop large earthquakes?
Seamount subduction is a common process in subduction zone tectonics. Contradicting a
widely held expectation that subducting seamounts generate large earthquakes, seamounts …

Micromechanics of brittle creep in rocks
In the upper crust, the chemical influence of pore water promotes time dependent brittle
deformation through sub‐critical crack growth. Sub‐critical crack growth allows rocks to …

Introduction of uncertainty of Green's function into waveform inversion for seismic source processes
Y Yagi, Y Fukahata - Geophysical Journal International, 2011 - academic.oup.com
In principle, we can never know the true Green's function, which is a major error source in
seismic waveform inversion. So far, many studies have devoted their efforts to obtain a …

Frictional instabilities in clay illuminate the origin of slow earthquakes
The shallowest regions of subduction megathrusts mainly deform aseismically, but they can
sporadically host slow-slip events (SSEs) and tsunami earthquakes, thus representing a …

The current state of earthquake potential on Java Island, Indonesia
Between 2006 and 2020, earthquakes and other geohazards on volcano-dotted Java Island
have caused about 7000 deaths, and another 1.8 million people were injured, displaced, or …
