Characteristics of cold seeps at different geologic settings are the subject of this review
primarily based on results of the Research Consortium SFB 574. Criteria are drawn from …

Serpentinization is a key phenomenon for understanding the geodynamics of subduction
zones in the 10–200 km depth range. Serpentines are a major water carrier, and their …

Magnetotelluric (MT) data can image the electrical resistivity of the entire lithospheric column
and are therefore one of the most important data sources for understanding the structure …

Active fault traces are a surface expression of permanent deformation that accommodates
the motion within and between adjacent tectonic plates. We present an updated national …

Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at
large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …

We develop a kinematic model for the transition from subduction beneath the North Island,
New Zealand, to strike‐slip in the South Island, constrained by GPS velocities and active …

The seismicity pattern along the San Andreas fault near Parkfield and Cholame, California,
varies distinctly over a length of only fifty kilometres. Within the brittle crust, the presence of …

Fluids entering the subduction zone play a key role in the subduction process. They cause
changes in the dynamics and thermal structure of the subduction zone, and trigger …

In intraplate orogens tectonothermal activity occurs at a site removed from a plate margin
and is considered to result from localization of far-field plate-boundary stresses through a …

Broadband and long-period magnetotelluric (MT) data were used to obtain a continuous
image of the lithospheric electrical conductivity structure across the southeastern Tibetan …
