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 …

During the past five decades, numerical modeling of subduction, one of the most
challenging and captivating geodynamic processes, remained in the core of geodynamic …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

Plate tectonics is among the most important geological processes on Earth, but its
emergence and evolution remain unclear. Here we extrapolate models of present-day plate …

The assimilation of geological, geophysical, and laboratory data in physics-based models of
fault dynamics promises increasingly realistic simulations of the seismic cycle. To assist this …

In a viscoelastic Earth, stresses slowly built up due to fault locking are relaxed concurrently
during the entire interseismic period. This interseismic stress relaxation causes crustal …

The deformation transient following large subduction zone earthquakes is thought to
originate from the interaction of viscoelastic flow in the asthenospheric mantle and slip on …

The diverse mechanical behaviors of subduction zones during the seismic cycle emerge
from the nonlinear dynamics of a complex mechanical system with interacting brittle and …

Abstract The Nankai Trough in Southwest Japan exhibits a wide spectrum of fault slip, with
long-term and short-term slow-slip events, slow and fast earthquakes, all associated with …

Following great subduction earthquakes, postseismic deformation of coastal areas shows
consistent seaward motion but complex vertical deformation. Understanding both the …
