Slow fault slip includes a range of transient phenomena that occur over timescales longer
than those of standard earthquakes. Slow slip events are often closely associated with …

Oceanic transform faults display fewer and smaller‐magnitude earthquakes than expected
for their length. Several mechanisms have been inferred to explain this seismic slip deficit …

Subduction megathrusts below the land Moho slip at either steady creep or episodic slow
slip events (SSEs). However, deformation styles and mechanisms responsible for aseismic …

The serpentine minerals lizardite, polyhedral serpentine, chrysotile, antigorite and 15‐sector
and 30‐sector polygonal serpentine have been studied by micro‐Raman spectroscopy …

Serpentinization of the mantle wedge immediately above a subducting slab is a key process
controlling the strength contrast between the slab and the overriding nominally anhydrous …

Positively identifying serpentine mineral types is important for a wide range of disciplines in
the Earth sciences and health sciences. Although Raman spectroscopy has been widely …

Exposure to natural occurrences of asbestos (NOA) and other potentially hazardous
elongated mineral particles (EMPs) may pose a risk to human health and the environment …

Deciphering the internal structure and composition of large serpentinite-dominated shear
zones will lead to an improved understanding of the rheology of the lithosphere in a range of …

Laboratory experiments on serpentinite suggest that extreme dynamic weakening at
earthquake slip rates is accompanied by amorphisation, dehydration and possible melting …

Abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbon-bearing fluids during geological processes has a
significant impact on the evolution of both the Earth's biosphere and the solid Earth …
