Hydrogeology and mechanics of subduction zone forearcs: Fluid flow and pore pressure

DM Saffer, HJ Tobin - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
At subduction zones, fluid flow, pore pressure, and tectonic processes are tightly
interconnected. Excess pore pressure is driven by tectonic loading and fluids released by …

Deepwater fold and thrust belt classification, tectonics, structure and hydrocarbon prospectivity: A review

CK Morley, R King, R Hillis, M Tingay, G Backe - Earth-Science Reviews, 2011 - Elsevier
Deepwater fold and thrust belts (DWFTBs) are classified into near-field stress-driven Type 1
systems confined to the sedimentary section, and Type 2 systems deformed by either far …

The seismogenic zone of subduction thrust faults

RD Hyndman, M Yamano, DA Oleskevich - Island Arc, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
Subduction thrust faults generate earthquakes over a limited depth range. They are aseismic
in their seaward updip portions and landward downdip of a critical point. The seaward …

Splay fault branching along the Nankai subduction zone

JO Park, T Tsuru, S Kodaira, PR Cummins, Y Kaneda - Science, 2002 - science.org
Seismic reflection profiles reveal steeply landward–dipping splay faults in the rupture area of
the magnitude (M) 8.1 Tonankai earthquake in the Nankai subduction zone. These splay …

Introduction to special section: Mechanical involvement of fluids in faulting

S Hickman, R Sibson, R Bruhn - Journal of Geophysical …, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
A growing body of evidence suggests that fluids are intimately linked to a variety of faulting
processes. These include the long term structural and compositional evolution of fault zones; …

Permeability and fluid flow in natural mudstones

DN Dewhurst, Y Yang, AC Aplin - Geological Society, London …, 1999 - lyellcollection.org
Mudstone permeabilities vary by ten orders of magnitude and by three orders of magnitude
at a single porosity. Much of the range at a given porosity can be explained by differences in …

The thickness of subduction plate boundary faults from the seafloor into the seismogenic zone

CD Rowe, JC Moore, F Remitti… - …, 2013 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The thickness of an active plate boundary fault is an important parameter for understanding
the strength and spatial heterogeneity of fault behavior. We have compiled direct …

Very low frequency earthquakes within accretionary prisms are very low stress‐drop earthquakes

Y Ito, K Obara - Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We report characteristic P wave spectra and stress drops of very low frequency (VLF)
earthquakes that occurred within the accretionary prism along the Nankai Trough …

Episodic fluid flow in the Nankai accretionary complex: Timescale, geochemistry, flow rates, and fluid budget

DM Saffer, BA Bekins - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Down‐hole geochemical anomalies encountered in active accretionary systems can be
used to constrain the timing, rates, and localization of fluid flow. Here we combine a coupled …

[HTML][HTML] Pore pressure distribution of a mega-splay fault system in the Nankai Trough subduction zone: Insight into up-dip extent of the seismogenic zone

T Tsuji, R Kamei, RG Pratt - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2014 - Elsevier
We use the pore pressure distribution predicted from a waveform tomography (WT) velocity
model to interpret the evolution of the mega-splay fault system in the Nankai Trough off …
