Prevalence of viscoelastic relaxation after the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake
After a large subduction earthquake, crustal deformation continues to occur, with a complex
pattern of evolution. This postseismic deformation is due primarily to viscoelastic relaxation …

Deep decoupling in subduction zones: Observations and temperature limits
The plate interface undergoes two transitions between seismogenic depths and subarc
depths. A brittle-ductile transition at 20–50 km depth is followed by a transition to full viscous …

Nature and distribution of slab‐derived fluids and mantle sources beneath the Southeast Mariana forearc rift
Subduction zone magmas are produced by melting depleted mantle metasomatized by
fluids released from the subducted slab. In most subduction zones, formation of backarc …
