Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Tectonic Tremors in California

Geophysical Research Letters
California, as a transform plate boundary, provides a distinctive tectonic setting and an ideal natural laboratory for investigating tectonic tremors and the slow deformation associated with plate motion.

Structural Controls on Splay Fault Rupture Dynamics During Cascadia Megathrust Earthquakes

AGU Advances
Great subduction earthquakes (Mw ≥ 8.0) can generate devastating tsunamis by rapidly displacing the seafloor and overlying water column. These potentially tsunamigenic seafloor offsets result from coseismic fault slip and deformation beneath or within ...

Halos of Enhanced Sediment Alteration Above Buried Seamounts Approaching the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Sediment thermal history controls the progress of diagenetic reactions that can alter the mechanical behavior of material entering a subduction zone that then: accretes to the margin, hosts the plate boundary interface, or is carried deeper within the ...

Study of non-volcanic tremors in the Cascadia subduction zone

, 2011
I locate for the first time several episodic and minor tremor sequences along the Cascadia subduction zone from Vancouver Island to northern California between February 2003 and December 2005 using a single location method. My results suggest that Cascadia tremors occur within a distributed deformation zone surrounding the plate interface.
