Toward an integrative geological and geophysical view of Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes
The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording
evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great …

Water in the slab: A trilogy
M Faccenda - Tectonophysics, 2014 - Elsevier
The geological and geophysical phenomena associated with water in the slab can be
grouped into three different categories: those related to 1) the storage of water in the oceanic …

Water input into the Mariana subduction zone estimated from ocean-bottom seismic data
The water cycle at subduction zones remains poorly understood, although subduction is the
only mechanism for water transport deep into Earth. Previous estimates of water flux,–exhibit …

[HTML][HTML] Structure of oceanic crust and serpentinization at subduction trenches
The subducting oceanic lithosphere may carry a large amount of chemically bound water
into the deep Earth interior, returning water to the mantle, facilitating melting, and hence …

Link between plate fabric, hydration and subduction zone seismicity in Alaska
Subduction zones worldwide exhibit remarkable variation in seismic activity over short
distances of about tens of kilometres along their length. The properties of the subducting …

Controlling factor of incoming plate hydration at the north-western Pacific margin
Hydration of the subducting oceanic plate determines the amount of water transported from
Earth's surface into its interior, and plate bending-related faulting (bend faulting) just prior to …

On the extent of mantle hydration caused by plate bending
J Korenaga - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2017 - Elsevier
When bent at subduction zones, oceanic plates are damaged by normal faulting, and this
bending-related faulting is widely believed to cause deep mantle hydration, down to∼ 20 …

Deep outer‐rise faults in the Southern Mariana Subduction Zone indicated by a machine‐learning‐based high‐resolution earthquake catalog
Outer‐rise faults are predominantly concentrated near ocean trenches due to subducted
plate bending. These faults play crucial roles in the hydration of subducted plates and the …
