Abstract The Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, has not produced large
subduction earthquakes within the short written historic period (~ 180 years) and the …

Subduction zone earthquakes result in some of the most devastating natural hazards on
Earth. Knowledge of where great (moment magnitude M≥ 8) subduction zone earthquakes …

The range of fault slip behaviors near the trench at subduction plate boundaries is critical to
know, as this is where the world's largest, most damaging tsunamis are generated. Our …

Slow slip events (SSEs) accommodate a significant proportion of tectonic plate motion at
subduction zones, yet little is known about the faults that actually host them. The shallow …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

Subduction of rough seafloor and seamounts is thought to impact a broad range of
geodynamic processes, including megathrust slip behaviour, forearc fluid flow and long-term …

Plate motion on shallow subduction megathrusts is accommodated by a spectrum of tectonic
slip modes. However, the frictional properties and conditions that sustain these diverse slip …

New scaling relationships of key earthquake source parameters are developed by uniformly
and systematically analyzing 226 finite-fault rupture models from the SRCMOD database …

Large seamounts and basement relief cause permanent deformation when they collide with
the overriding plate at subduction zones. The resulting structural and compositional …

Seismological data provide evidence of a depth-dependent rupture behaviour of
earthquakes occurring at the megathrust fault of subduction zones, also known as …
