Rare earth geochemistry of Arenig cherts from the Ballantrae Ophiolite and Leadhills Imbricate Zone, southern Scotland: implications for origin and significance to the Caledonian Orongeny [PDF]
, 1999 Rare earth element (REE) data from low to mid-Arenig cherts are used to test competing models for the early Ordovician evolution of the Laurentian margin in the northern British Isles.

Mechanical and hydraulic properties of Nankai accretionary prism sediments: Effect of stress path [PDF]
, 2012 We have conducted triaxial deformation experiments along different loading paths on prism sediments from the Nankai Trough. Different load paths of isotropic loading, uniaxial strain loading, triaxial compression (at constant confining pressure, Pc ...

TSUNAMIGENIC SOURCE MECHANISM AND EFFICIENCY OF THE MARCH 11, 2011 SANRIKU EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2011 The great Tohoku earthquake of March 11, 2011 generated a very destructive and anomalously high tsunami. To understand its source mechanism, an examination was undertaken of the seismotectonics of the region and of the earthquake’ focal mechanism, energy

Seismic studies of the northern Cascadia accretionary prism: sediment consolidation and gas hydrates [PDF]
, 2018 This thesis work was directed at aspects of two related problems: (1) sediment compaction and fluid expulsion processes in a subduction margin accretionary prism, and (2) the nature and concentration of gas hydrates that form bottom-simulating ...

Mud volcanism and fluid seepage at Venere mud volcano in the Calabrian Accretionary Prism (Central Mediterranean) [PDF]
, 2017 Cold seeps are the natural expression of the release of gases, liquids, solids, or a combination of components, which are sourced from subsurface sediments and are emitted at temperatures comparable to surface values.

Sediment microstructures and deformation at the toe of the Nankai accretionary prism: Effects of accretion and diagenesis, and evolution of the decollement [PDF]
, 2004 Sediments incorporated into accretionary prisms experience significant changes in physical properties, grain fabric, and diagenesis. The record of such changes is preserved in sediment microstructures.
