Continuous depth profile of the rock strength in the Nankai accretionary prism based on drilling performance parameters. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 A new method for evaluating the in situ rock strength beneath the seafloor is proposed and applied to the Nankai Trough accretionary prism. The depth-continuous in situ rock strength is a critical parameter for numerous studies in earth science ...

Viscous Accretionary Prisms: Viscoelastic Relaxation of the Makran Accretionary Prism Following the 2013 Baluchistan, Pakistan Earthquake [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018 AbstractGeodetic observations of postseismic transients following earthquakes commonly help to inform the rheology of the lower crust and mantle, frictional properties of faults, and the kinematics of deformation across the earthquake cycle. Here we use interferometric synthetic aperture radar time series observations of postseismic deformation ...

The Potential for CH4 Production by Syntrophic Microbial Communities in Diverse Deep Aquifers Associated with an Accretionary Prism and its Overlying Sedimentary Layers. [PDF]
Microbes Environ, 2020 Accretionary prisms are thick masses of sedimentary material scraped from the oceanic crust and piled up at convergent plate boundaries found across large regions of the world.

Exhuming an Accretionary Prism: A Case Study of the Kodiak Accretionary Complex, Alaska, USA
Tectonics, 2023 AbstractWe have carried a structural study across Kodiak accretionary complex in Alaska, USA, in order to describe its thermal structure and decipher the processes of exhumation. The accretionary complex consists of a stack of tectonic mélanges and coherent units. Mélanges are characterized by simple shear deformation with a pervasive network of top‐to‐

Accretionary prism collapse: a new hypothesis on the source of the 1771 giant tsunami in the Ryukyu Arc, SW Japan. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 The giant 1771 Yaeyama tsunami occurred in the southwestern part of the Ryukyu Arc, a region on an obliquely subducting plate boundary, which shows no direct evidence of inter-plate coupling.

Geochemical and Microbiological Evidence for Microbial Methane Production in Deep Aquifers of the Cretaceous Accretionary Prism. [PDF]
Microbes Environ, 2018 Accretionary prisms are thick layers of sedimentary material piled up at convergent plate boundaries. Large amounts of anaerobic groundwater and methane (CH4) are contained in the deep aquifers associated with accretionary prisms.

Tectonostratigraphy of the Jurassic accretionary prisms in the Sikhote-Alin region of Russian Far East [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 We propose a scheme to subdivide the Samarka terrane, a Jurassic accretionary prism fragment, into tectonostratigraphic complexes. This subdivision provides a basis to study these formations and map them on a medium- to large-scale.
