Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

Some of Earth's coldest mantle is found in subduction zones at the tip of the mantle wedge
that lies between the subducting and overriding plates. This forearc mantle is isolated from …

Seismic and geodetic observations in subduction zone forearcs indicate that slow
earthquakes, including episodic tremor and slip, recur at intervals of less than six months to …

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 …

We find that in young and warm subducting plates, earthquakes occur just below the Moho.
In older plates, earthquakes occur throughout the subducting oceanic crust, as well as the …

The Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, has not experienced any significant (> Mw
7.2) subduction interface earthquakes since historical records began∼ 170 years ago …

Deep tremor under Shikoku, Japan, consists primarily, and perhaps entirely, of swarms of
low‐frequency earthquakes (LFEs) that occur as shear slip on the plate interface. Although …

We present the first regional surface velocity field for Central America, showing crustal
response to interaction of the Cocos and Caribbean plates. Elastic half‐space models for …

Abstract The Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica is one of the few places on Earth where the
seismically active plate interface of a subduction zone is directly overlaid by land rather than …

More than a decade after the discovery of deep episodic slow slip and tremor, or slow
earthquakes, at subduction zones, much research has been carried out to investigate the …
