The structure and fault activity of the Makran accretionary prism [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2012 The Makran Subduction Zone has the highest incoming sediment thickness (up to 7.5 km) of any subduction zone. These sediments have formed a wide accretionary prism (∼400 km). Seismicity in the Makran is generally low; however the margin experienced an Mw 8.1 earthquake in 1945 which generated a significant regional tsunami.

The topographic signature of temperature-controlled rheological transitions in an accretionary prism [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2022 The local topographic slope of the accretionary prism is often used together with the critical taper theory to determine the effective friction on subduction megathrust.

Identification of the static backstop and its influence on the evolution of the accretionary prism in the Nankai Trough [PDF]
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2015 To reveal the origin of a backstop and its influence on the evolution of the accretionary prism, we analyzed reflection seismic data acquired in the Nankai Trough off the Kii Peninsula. The deformation features of the forearc basin sequence show that the

Granular experiments of thrust wedges: Insights relevant to methane hydrate exploration at the Nankai accretionary prism [PDF]
Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2014 The accumulation mechanism of methane hydrates has been a central issue in previous hydrate research regarding the Nankai accretionary prism, southwest of Japan.

Long-term evolution of an accretionary prism: The case study of the Shimanto Belt, Kyushu, Japan [PDF]
Tectonics, 2014 The Shimanto Belt in SW Japan is commonly described as a paleo‐accretionary prism, whose structure is explained by continuous accretion like in modern accretionary prisms such as Nankai. We carried out a structural study of the Cretaceous to Miocene part

Deformation of the Nankai Trough inner accretionary prism: The role of inherited structures [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2016 Accretionary prisms commonly grow seaward, with the strata of the inner prism consisting of older, previously accreted outer prism rocks overlain by thick fore-arc basin strata.

Regional Variation of CH4 and N2 Production Processes in the Deep Aquifers of an Accretionary Prism. [PDF]
Microbes Environ, 2016 Accretionary prisms are mainly composed of ancient marine sediment scraped from the subducting oceanic plate at a convergent plate boundary. Large amounts of anaerobic groundwater and natural gas, mainly methane (CH4) and nitrogen gas (N2), are present ...

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018 The southeast offshore Mie earthquake occurred on April 1, 2016 near the rupture area of the 1944 Tonankai earthquake, where seismicity around the interface of the Philippine Sea plate had been very low until this earthquake.

Post-seismic response of the outer accretionary prism after the 2010 Maule earthquake, Chile [PDF]
Geosphere, 2019 To investigate the dynamic response of the outer accretionary prism updip from the patch of greatest slip during the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake (Chile), 10 ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) were deployed from May 2012 to March 2013 in a small network ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018 Ocean drilling in the Nankai Trough forearc suggests a new scenario for the evolution of the Nankai subduction zone. Continuous subduction since the Late Cretaceous has been a common tectonic scenario, although the plate subduction was transferred from ...
