The dynamic history of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Mexico subduction zone

L Ferrari, T Orozco-Esquivel, V Manea, M Manea - Tectonophysics, 2012 - Elsevier
The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) is a 1000km long Neogene continental arc

An integrated perspective of the continuum between earthquakes and slow-slip phenomena

Z Peng, J Gomberg - Nature geoscience, 2010 - nature.com
The discovery of slow-slip phenomena has revolutionized our understanding of how faults
accommodate relative plate motions. Faults were previously thought to relieve stress either …

From geodetic imaging of seismic and aseismic fault slip to dynamic modeling of the seismic cycle

JP Avouac - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 - annualreviews.org
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 …

The frictional, hydrologic, metamorphic and thermal habitat of shallow slow earthquakes

DM Saffer, LM Wallace - Nature Geoscience, 2015 - nature.com
The recognition of a previously unknown spectrum of slow earthquake phenomena has
ignited one of the most dynamic fields in modern seismology and fault mechanics. These …

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 …

Slow earthquakes and nonvolcanic tremor

GC Beroza, S Ide - Annual review of Earth and planetary …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
Nonvolcanic tremor is observed in close association with geodetically observed slow-slip
events in subduction zones. Accumulating evidence points to these events as members of a …

Tectonic significance of serpentinites

S Guillot, S Schwartz, B Reynard, P Agard, C Prigent - Tectonophysics, 2015 - Elsevier
At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

[HTML][HTML] Subduction zone megathrust earthquakes

SL Bilek, T Lay - Geosphere, 2018 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
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 …

Initial effective stress controls the nature of earthquakes

FX Passelègue, M Almakari, P Dublanchet… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Modern geophysics highlights that the slip behaviour response of faults is variable in space
and time and can result in slow or fast ruptures. However, the origin of this variation of the …
